Fairchild, Arrow to position RosettaNet process

Fairchild Semiconductor has collaborated with Arrow Electronics Inc. to deploy one of the RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs).

RosettaNet is a high technology industry eBusiness standards consortium, formed to accelerate the collaborative development and rapid deployment of open Internet-based business standards that align processes within the global high-technology trading network. Fairchild Semiconductor and Arrow Electronics are two of the more than 450 companies that participate in the standards development.

"By deploying the RosettaNet PIP 5C1 with Arrow, we have completely automated the process of sharing lists of our parts eligible for design registration, migrating from a more complex and time consuming process," said Hans Wildenberg, Fairchild's EVP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing. "This is Fairchild's first RosettaNet exchange for demand creation processes and it represents an important milestone, accomplished over a short 60-day period. We plan to move forward with Arrow to deploy PIP 5C4, which will enable automatic status of registration requests."
