Who should use RapiDex board customization?
The RapiDex board customization service is affordable for any embedded development project. You should strongly consider using the RapiDex service if:

• Your design requirements are not met by a standard, off-the-shelf embedded motherboard. RapiDex board customization enables you to choose exactly the specifications you need.
• You develop multiple end-product variants of a platform. Standard off-the-shelf motherboards are continually redeveloped to take advantage of new technology, rendering your platform design obsolete.
  The RapiDex service will give you long-term control over your board specifications, enabling you to re-use your platform design indefinitely.
• You manufacture a high-volume end product. A standard off-the-shelf board might contain features which you pay for, but do not use.
  RapiDex board customization will enable you to cost-reduce your board, offering you savings over the lifetime of your product.
• Intense competition is leading to the commoditization of your end product category. When every manufacturer is dependent on standard boards, the functions and feature sets of different vendors’ products are almost identical. The RapiDex service enables you to differentiate your product, introducing valuable new features, developing an improved form factor or cost-reducing to gain a price advantage.
