DS Connection Announces Launch Of Their On-line Electronic Design Services Provider Database

    LONGMONT, CO, February 06, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- DS Connection has announced the launch of their on-line database of Electronics Design Services (EDS) providers.

"EDS companies have been helping companies with their product development for decades but are now playing a larger and more vital role than ever," explains Mike Lease, President and founder of DS Connection. "As the pace of technological advancements continues to accelerate, more and more companies are finding in doesn't make sense to do all of their product development in-house. With the proliferation of battery powered and wirelessly connected devices for example, even long established companies are finding it more cost effective and efficient to go to outside experts in these technologies so they can focus internal engineering resources on their core competencies. In the past, companies were usually built around their engineering team. Today many start-up companies with products featuring the latest in technology are outsourcing their entire product development. Selecting the right EDS provider to partner with is crucial, selecting the wrong provider may delay a product launch by months or even cause a start-up to fail completely."

"EDS providers and customers face different sides of the same problem - making that crucial connection. Provider companies need to connect with potential customers and customers need to find the right provider," says Mike. "Most EDS providers are heavily dependent on repeat business from a core group of customers and it can be difficult for them to grow their customer base. Advertising is very expensive and usually very ineffective for these companies. Many EDS providers spend thousands of dollars on their website but don't have the resources to play the ever changing game of search engine optimization so potential customers don't find their website buried deep in the hundreds or thousands of search results. For people looking for EDS providers, searching on the web is much like pulling names from a hat, a hat with thousands of names in it. They often rely on word of mouth referrals from their network of contacts - this can be effective but only exposes them to a tiny percentage of the EDS providers in the market."

"As a service provider, DGCD is constantly seeking access to new leads," says Christophe Febvre, President and co-founder of Dynamic Group Circuit Design, Inc. (DGCD), an electronics design services company in Fort Collins, Colorado that has been in business since 2000. "Direct sales efforts require a great deal of resources and effort. Our best results start from being found when product developers search for us. DS Connection gives us that key access point to the solid leads."

DS Connection helps make the crucial provider-customer connection on their website, providing potential EDS customers with free access to their database (launching with over 400 EDS provider companies). Through a proprietary search engine on the website, users can search for providers by location, key words, over 100 areas of technical specialization, 12 specific markets served and more. EDS providers can sign-up for one of four levels of profiles, ranging from free to $500 annually. As the price increases the EDS provider is able to include more information in their profile to be searched on and displayed in the search results. The DS Connection website can be found at www.ds-connection.com.
