Optimal Business Models for Embedded Platform Design: Boards, Custom Products and Architected Designs

Eurotech offers both ready-to-use devices and embedded systems for incorporation into an OEM device. When the customer wants a board component for their system, we work with them to achieve maximum cost efficiencies through the “DIME” model of product lifecycle cost (Design, factory Introduction, Maintenance, and EOL considerations). Within this the DIME business model, we offer options to OEMs with varying production volumes and varying control on their supply chain. This whitepaper will explain the parameters an OEM can evaluate when picking a preferred sourcing agreement.
