This integration will provide Altium 365 users with direct access to Z2Data’s extensive supply chain and component database, enabling them to build resilience in engineering, compliance, and procurement.

Drawing upon Z2Data’s broad database of over a billion electronic components, Altium 365 users will have access to detailed component information, spanning everything from basic resistors to sophisticated integrated circuits. This data gathered directly from manufacturers, ensures accuracy and reliability, providing one platform for engineers and procurement professionals to manage supply chain risk.

“The electronics world remains highly sensitive to component supply chains since the COVID shortage, and we're thrilled to be an enabler for driving insights to our customers with this integration between Z2Data and Altium 365,” says Ananth Avva, GM and Sr. Vice President of Cloud Platform at Altium. “It's a partnership that will streamline workflows, mitigate risk, and elevate compliance across the entire product lifecycle. Yet we go beyond to drive deeper insights and full traceability of components to drive compliance initiatives at organizations with Z2Data’s Advanced Insights package. For our customers, that means faster time to market, lower costs, and the confidence to push the boundaries of innovation. I couldn't be more excited about the possibilities this unlocks for our customers.”

“We're thrilled to partner with Altium to improve the supply chain management experience for Altium 365 customers. Whether it's obsolescence, regulatory, or geopolitical, teams need innovative ways to tackle the growing challenges,” says Mohammad Ahmad, President and CEO of Z2Data. “That starts with getting access to the right data. Z2Data’s comprehensive database will give teams the information they need to make timely and informed decisions around their product development strategy.”
