The Source Intelligence platform features propriety predictive technology, which allows users to optimize risk evaluation, and our lifecycle analytics offers form-fit-function replacements and alternates identification. Through our obsolescence management program, we provide you with the tools needed to predict, view, and manage component lifecycles by anticipating possible disruptions to your supply chain continuity.
