Electronics Equipment and Semiconductors
Updated: September 19, 2005
High tech manufacturers in this segment need to continually retool and upgrade processes to not only keep up with the velocity of technology evolution, but to outpace the completion. High tech industry leaders, in response to market demand, are constantly pushing the computing power and size of electronic devices.
Manufacturers of semiconductors are in an exceptionally volatile market with intense rivalries. There's constant pressure to provide something better than what defined the state-of-the-art a few months ago. That pressure extends to chip equipment makers, foundries, design labs, and distributors. In addition, semiconductor companies have to successfully address long lead times, global coordination, and complex manufacturing processes.
Microsoft understands these needs and can help. We offers solutions like Microsoft BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet, which provides the software and server platform needed to rapidly implement processes that support trading partner integration standards developed by RosettaNet, a consortium of IT, electronic, and manufacturing companies. These standards form a common e-business language, aligning processes between supply chain partners on a global basis. BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet includes pre-built business processes (PIPs) to help orchestrate complex, collaborative business processes.
