Product Lifecycle Management

PDSi provides product lifecycle management services to global OEMs.

Since 1989, PDSi has developed its expertise in the design, manufacture and support of OEM computer solutions in mission-critical industries. Specializing in high-density embedded-computing platforms, PDSi has a proven track record and flexibility to provide solutions at each stage of the product’s lifecycle—from development to deployment to end-of-life.

The goal of PDSi’s product lifecycle services is to integrate the design, manufacturing, production and support functions into a seamless and cohesive process.

Engineering/Redesign/Re-Engineering

Leveraging its many years of board- and system-level design capabilities, 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 original equipment manufacturers turn ideas into production-ready designs.

Manufacturing & Development

PDSi's production team transitions OEM-specific products from development and prototypes to 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

Service, Support & Logistics

From on-site installation support to depot repair and advanced exchange options, PDSi's global technical support staff is available to assist OEMs and their customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are standing by, ready to facilitate a field response nearly anywhere in the world—often within two hours. As with all program options, technical support staff availability and field response times can be customized according to customer requirements.

End-of-Life Management

PDSi's End-of-Life Management services ensure that OEMs are prepared for any eventuality in a product's lifecycle. PDSi monitors the availability of all components and provides advance notification to the OEM upon confirming end-of-life of any item affecting continuing production or support of the end product. PDSi will partner with the OEM to evaluate the impact of the component’s end-of-life status and to adopt the best course of action. Components can be purchased new and stocked. Used components can be refurbished to factory specifications. Alternative components can be evaluated, or in some cases, PDSi can even re-start production of end-of-life components.
