The best of both worlds
Arena PLM and Avnet Prómiere make it easier than ever to review new part options, compare costs and lead times, and make informed choices for your products, so you have fingertip access to all the data you need to make good decisions.
Leading content, from a leading partner
Arena selected a true leader in the content management field, Avnet Prómiere (a division of the leading electronics distributor Avnet Electronics Marketing), as their partner to offer electronics component content. Through Prómiere’s partnership with IHS, Inc., they offer the most accurate and complete component content database available in the industry. The combination of Avnet’s Electronics Marketing core purchase-ability and availability with IHS’s rich parametric data, environmental content, and lifecycle information offers an unparalleled information source for electronics professionals. Avnet Prómiere delivers this content with value-added, on-demand tools for content management, and now, through our partnership, in the context of the Arena PLM product record.
