Whenever I
need to research something new, or a topic I’m unfamiliar with I turn to the
internet. The information is free, and there’s a wealth of detail to choose
from if something is too complex, or too long winded. The trouble with the
internet is that there’s no real quality filter. How reliable is the data
you’re looking at? When was it written and updated? Was it written primarily to
advertise a product or service?
The other
issue is that the data I find online is totally disconnected from my own
experiences or capabilities. I can find any number of videos online that teach
me how to renovate a bathroom – however the reality is that I’m dangerously
poor at home maintenance.
In our
industry, the internet is an absolutely indispensable tool for our day-to-day
work but as I outlined in some detail in the Converge blog in late 2016 more data is not always the answer.
Being able to contextualise this vital information is becoming more and more
challenging. It’s especially challenging with such dangerous topics as
counterfeit components in our supply chains.
With this
in mind, SiliconExpert and Converge are jointly hosting a
webinar covering data analytics, prevention of counterfeit ingress to your
supply chain, solutions in the marketplace and quality focus from your
suppliers. The webinar aims to show that while the incidence of counterfeit may
rise, there are real-world coping strategies to reduce your risk of exposure,
available today.
Please join
our teams for this FREE webinar on 21st June for 60 minutes,
starting at 1200 Eastern. Register now by clicking here.
Keep
innovating!
