Custom Design Engagements

In today's intensely competitive high-tech marketplace, OEMs face the never-ending challenge of keeping pace with customer needs and beating their competition to market.

Product lifecycles are growing shorter, and in response to market pressures, application development cycles are accelerating. Now more than ever, OEMs are being driven to reduce their time to market in order to remain competitive. As a leading engineering design center with many years of experience in the rapid development and deployment of high-end, board-level and system-level products, PDSi is the strategic product realization partner for world-class OEMs.

Design

Leveraging many years of board and system level design capabilities as well as strategic Intel®, Sun® Microsystems and AMD relationships and the latest design tools, PDSi offers leading-edge custom design programs. Staffed with a core group of engineers experienced in mechanical, electrical, software and electronic board and system-level design, PDSi partners with manufacturers to evaluate project requirements and map out the most efficient paths to market. From board-level design to full, high-availability systems with specific form, fit and function requirements, PDSi helps OEMs turn ideas into production-ready designs.

Rapid Product Realization

Upon completion of the design phase, PDSi's production team transitions OEM-specific designs from the development stage to prototypes and production. Through its own facilities and strategic partner network, PDSi can develop cost-effective manufacturing and supply-chain solutions for any volume requirement. Total solutions can be developed to include turnkey manufacturing, deployment and field service.

Support

At PDSi, we understand that in the race to bring next-generation products to market, an OEM's commitment to its customers doesn't end once product is shipped. Customers expect the level of support and responsiveness required to keep their applications up and running for the entire product lifecycle—no matter how or where they do business in the world. As a premier depot repair facility and logistics center with many years of experience supporting sophisticated UNIX-based chip, board and system-level technology, PDSi designs, implements and administers comprehensive, custom product lifecycle management programs for OEMs.
