Dassault and Cadence extend partnership

Dassault Systemes, a provider of 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, has announced an expansion of its longstanding relationship with Cadence Design Systems, an electronic design automation (EDA) software and engineering services company. This collaboration enables integrated circuit (IC) designers within the Cadence Design Services team around the world to work more effectively. It also facilitates greater control and management of core product intellectual property (IP) during the development process.

Rick Stanton, director of Semiconductor Market Strategy, ENOVIA, Dassault Systemes, said, “Thanks to ENOVIA Synchronicity technology, Cadence design teams can access an open, production-proven system specifically designed for the global, collaborative development and management of core IP including complex IC design data." He added, "ENOVIA DesignSync has long supported the Open Access database standard and this partnership with Cadence reaffirms Dassault Systèmes commitment to openness and the value it brings to the thousands of common ENOVIA and Cadence users.”

ENOVIA Synchronicity DesignSync Data Manager allows Cadence resources to standardize on a collaborative design environment that spans multiple locations across the world. This relationship adds to the longtime inclusion of DesignSync within the Cadence design services team and continues more than 10 years of cooperation.

“The delivery of high-quality IP requires close collaboration with design teams across geographies,” said Tim Henricks, vice president of design services for Cadence.
