Our featured article this week, Investing in Engineering Startups, was written by Jim Pinto. Jim reflects on his own experiences as founder/CEO of Action Instruments and offers some advice on how to succeed. Without a great management team (including sales, marketing and finance), companies can easily become sidetracked. I think this article is a must read for anyone involved with an engineering-related company, startup or not.
We're highlighting a number of new (and some not so new) products in our Featured Product section this month. Three of those products are highlighted below as Featured Products in this week's e-news issue. Be sure to check out our Home Page or our Featured Products page for all of this month's featured products.
In this issue, we're also featuring the Industrial Automation Product Reference Guide, a catalog of AutomationDirect's comprehensive product offering. Check out this week's sponsor (above right), SIXNET, and be sure to request their CD containing product information (controllers, I/O, switches and modems), manuals, data sheets and software tools.
And, as usual, don't forget to review the Product Announcements, Company News and Job Postings added to our site in the last week.
On to the good stuff...Enjoy the rest of this e-news!
