Additionally, Xpedition offers managed access within a secure environment to ensure the protection of sensitive information and compliance with regulations.

Best practices for modern PCB design, crucial for delivering complex products on compressed schedules, are supported through five pillars of digital transformation:

• Digitally integrated and optimized: A multi-domain environment (IC, IC packaging, FPGA, PCB, mechanical, software) reduces manual intervention, improves transparency, optimizes costs, and enhances design quality.
• Engineering productivity and efficiency: Predictably manage complex designs, utilize advanced design support, employ a constraint-driven process for correct-by-construction design, and reduce cycle times with concurrent team design.
• Digital-prototype driven verification: Integrate verification early in the design process to smooth the electronic systems design flow, increase design quality, and minimize iterations and manufacturing respins through shift-left verification.
• Model-based systems engineering: View the entire system (electronic, electrical, mechanical, software) and model interconnectivity and traceability across domains from system requirements to manufacturing.
• Supply chain resilience: Ensure product delivery by connecting demand with supply through practices like BOM validation, best-known part availability, and validation of alternates.
