Learn how to make informed decisions about electronic component sourcing.

In this video, technology correspondent Ana Berry shares helpful information on how to feel secure in your procurement strategies. One important decision is whether to work with authorized electronic component distributors or non-franchise suppliers.

They streamline procurement for electronic components by offering extensive inventory, competitive pricing, and technical support.
