Other eMkts

• E-Portal -- one stop searching
• Tool-based approach that integrates
• Smart search tools
• Distributed Sources
• Single point access to information and solutions
• Parts data and cross references
• Catalogs (military and commercial)
• Niche sources (aftermarket, reclamation)
• Emulation (e.g., GEM) and re-engineering services
• Leverage group experience to shorten search time
  and drive toward lower cost solutions
