Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS): -- RosettaNet-Based Quoting Significantly Improves Business Processes - Makes It Easy To Do Business with Fairchild -- Showcases Commitment to RosettaNet E-Business Standards Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), the leading global supplier of high performance products that optimize system power, has significantly streamlined the quoting process by deploying RosettaNet-based pricing with Yosun Industrial, a major pan Asian distributor of electronic components. "The Yosun and Fairchild teams worked very closely together to implement RosettaNet business standards, reducing the time required for quoting between the two companies," said Eric Pannekeet, Fairchild's manager Corporate RosettaNet Development. "The benefits are enormous: Yosun is able to work within their ERP system to send and receive product quoting and availability information, while Fairchild is able to respond rapidly to pricing opportunities for our power products with the best, most timely information. Yosun is a valued Fairchild partner with operations across Asia, including China, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. The implementation of RosettaNet has significantly reduced the time required to enter quotes and respond to requests - making it easy to do business with Fairchild." "We provide integrated services for our customers and suppliers, adding significant value to the electronics components supply chain," said Louis Chang, vice president of Sales Yosun Industrial Company. "As one of the leading distributors in Asia, we continually strive to identify ways to enhance our ability to leverage new opportunities and better serve our customer base. Building a strong relationship with Fairchild, one of our largest supplier partners, enabled us to jointly move the RosettaNet-based quoting process to completion in record time. Already deployed in Taiwan, we expect this new seamless process to be in operation across all our facilities within the next few months." RosettaNet is a consortium of more than 500 leading organizations working together to enable the electronic sharing of business information through a common language. Active RosettaNet member companies, such as Fairchild, strengthen partner relationships, raise productivity and reduce costs. With the escalating costs of energy requiring higher efficiency energy conversion and electromechanical control, Fairchild - The Power Franchise(R) - is a market leader in the $15 billion TAM power semiconductor market. Focusing on power and integrated functions into single package solutions and producing higher value products, Fairchild's innovations include: -- Green FPS(TM), switches that meet low standby power regulations, simplify designs, reduce EMI emissions and lower costs; -- Analog switches that provide the best combination of low resistance switching and ultra-small packaging; and -- uSerDes(TM), micro serializers and deserializers that are much smaller, reduce power consumption compared to other conventional solutions, and are ideal for portable applications, such as clam shell phones where signals must be transmitted across the hinge when the phone is engaged.
