EEPN ADDS BEGANTO’S TIME-SAVING NEEDASAMPLE® AS A FURTHER TOOL FOR DESIGN ENGINEERS - Need a sample? EEPN®, the “time-saving tool for today’s design engineer” offers a new time-saving tool for its readers, and a new management tool for its advertisers. Through an alliance with Beganto, EEPN and its sister eMedia properties, EEPN2™ and eepn, now provide direct links to Beganto’s needasample “buy side” sampling and tracking tool for products from sponsoring component suppliers. Beganto also serves “the sell side,” carrying sampling support through to the design win tracking process. Bill Baumann, group publisher of Penton Media’s Electronics OEM Group notes “The alliance is a natural fulfillment of EEPN’s mission, and a valuable informational and logistical supplement to the 250,000 interactions we have with readers each month. Beganto helps the EEPN reader get needed data and samples from a central source – without the need to visit dozens of Web sites or enter the same information repeatedly”.
