BUILDING ELECTROMECHANICAL AND PCB PROTOTYPES WITH THE EXPERTS

What is your understanding of electronic contract manufacturing (ECM)? Also known as electronic manufacturing services (EMS), this term is commonly used to describe companies that execute designing, testing, manufacturing, distributing and repair provision services for electronic components and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), thus saving precious time and cost for the manufacturer to expedite the processes of their productions. In short, ECM companies are the providers or subcontractors of major electronic companies, supplying customized components and services to ease the productions of their clientele. 

Basically these electronic contract manufacturing (ECM) companies would provide high quality one-stop resourced turnkey electronics manufacturing services of low to large volume products, to small and medium size businesses. Such design, engineering and PCB assembly services are provided for a variety of industries such as the telecommunications, industrial, medical and avionics sectors. Some complex printed board assemblies as found in the telecommunication and computer areas, sensors, medical & dental electronics, require a high level of accuracy and aero PCB products. These are some of the items ECM companies have been servicing all along.

HOW RELATIONSHIPS WORK FOR BUSINESSES BY HEATHER FERGUSON IN SONAR MOMENT

In a competitive business world, generating a steady flow of profits to strengthen the pillars of your businesses won’t be easy if you do not have strong relationships with your clients. Generally, that’s what Heather Ferguson, Principal of Whale Communications Ltd. & Producer/Host of Sonar Moment had in mind on the success of building a business.

Through my personal experience, what she said is indeed so true. Other than customers’ satisfaction, building the trust relationship between you and your client would eventually bring more business to any company. If your products or services are of top quality and your endless commitment and responsibility are on par with the needs of your consumers, you are on the right track to move up the business success ladder.

Since the birth of my business, I practically do not have to bid for additional projects to sustain my livelihood, because I have been recommended by most of my existing clients to many new and potential clients throughout my business career. Basically, whatever a client needed would fall back to the trust they have in your company to come out with a satisfying result that meets their deadlines, even though it is in a limited period of time.

There are many rules in building a successful business. The main rule would be to build the trust relationships between you and your client. Don’t over commit what you can’t deliver, and be authentic about what you can offer. Even though your client might be difficult, you should still show your respect and professionalism in getting the job done well. Be in control of your own company and be up to date on the newest technologies that will increase the chances of you maintaining your place in your industry for a long time to come. After all, every deal made should be a win-win deal for both parties.

SETTING UP CONFERENCING CALLS COULD NEVER BE EASIER

I’m sure everyone has gone through the scenario of group studies at one time or another in our lives. What did we do then? We spent most of our time travelling to and back from a destination where we were to meet up with school mates for those group studies. Not only was the whole duration a waste of time in traveling but also a waste of money. The generation today is definitely more fortunate with the advancement in internet technology. They can now make conference calls all within the comfort of their home while discussing their projects through multicast communications, a medium that will connect a sender to many receivers.

Making conference calls of course won’t be free and it comes with a small price to pay. With so many other packages available on the market, it would be beneficial to know which company would be the best to engage, in order to save on costs. It’s not about getting the cheapest package around. It’s all about getting one that is affordable and yet has good quality audio visual without interrupting your communications with the other parties. Don’t you hate it when you are in the middle of discussing a major project and the line just cuts off suddenly? I’m sure you would agree on my point of view to engage a company who is reliable and won’t burn your pocket with exorbitant charges.

Instead of jamming up your computer with more downloads of software to enable you to communicate, I found one that required no download of any software which would be applicable to both Windows and Macintosh platforms. All you need to do is to sign up online and a dedicated toll free dial in access number and pass codes will be sent to you for immediate usage. It is so hassle-free that you would be able to start your conference call without any delay. 

You can visit the site for more information on how to manage your conference call with the many features available. Not only would this be a service that would be useful for your studies, it would also be great for your future businesses as you move into the corporate world. Having presentations, seminars, weekly meetings, lectures, in-house training sessions from dispersed locations, and it would be accomplished with only a matter of a few clicks.
