A Cost Effective Knowledge Tool

The cost of not knowing is prohibitively high, while ignorance or poor knowledge management can have catastrophic business impacts. In 2001 one of the leading electronics goods manufacturers found out that a restricted chemical was present in one of its products and a major shipment into Europe was blocked. The bottom line impact was estimated to be €52M.

Early identification of restrictions can save substantial amounts of money. It can also increase your competitive edge. For example:

• fixing a problem associated with an ESH regulatory issue may cost $1,000 in the design phase
• if not addressed until the alpha or beta phase that cost may jump to $10,000-$20,000
• if not caught until your product is shipped, the cost may exceed $1,000,000!

As a user-friendly, online information resource, SEMItrack has benefits and features that not even a full-time, in-house specialist can provide and maintain. What do you spend per year on regulatory tracking, screening and interpretation?

• 100 hours per year for international regulatory tracking (legal/consultant): $30,000
• Translation costs (5 languages, 5 reports/yr): $25,000
• 400 hours per year of staff time: $25,000
• TOTAL $80,000

SEMItrack has the straightforward capacity to reduce your costs to about $20,000 per annum
