obsolete
The Problem More than 500,000 electronic
components go obsolete each year Expected life-cycle of a new product
is decreasing each year Average today is 3 years
Tools to manage these challenges are often too expensive for small to medium sized businesses
Entry-level, non-technical buyers are under pressure and often turn to the grey market to solve their challenges

When a no-bid occurs and chaos ensues, the buyer is often forced to turn to the grey market
While many independent disties and brokers are trustworthy, often a buyer ends up doing business with
some shady characters selling counterfeit parts
