FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ClioSoft®, Inc., a leader in system-on-chip (SoC)
design data and intellectual property (IP) management solutions for the
semiconductor design industry, today announced that the company has
achieved a 15% increase in year-over-year bookings for the 2018
financial year, while maintaining profitability for the nineteenth
consecutive year. New bookings in 2018 came in the form of increased
demand for designHUB®, the next-generation IP reuse ecosystem
that enables enterprises to leverage their internal and external IPs
more efficiently to build their SoCs faster. The increase in bookings
also came from the sales of ClioSoft’s flagship SOS7®
design-management platform to new and existing customers. ClioSoft
continued its steady growth as the market leader in SoC design and IP
management software with 54 new customer accounts in 2018.
“There is not just one reuse solution that fits all companies,” said
Srinath Anantharaman, founder and CEO of ClioSoft. “Every company has
unique requirements, and each company looks for enterprise-class
solutions that are configurable for their needs, easy to use, have a low
maintenance overhead, a rich set of features, can scale to meet their
future needs and be easily adopted within the company. The designHUB
ecosystem addresses these needs and continues to be positively received
by design team’s year after year.”
“The SOS7 design management platform,” continued Anantharaman, “follows
the same philosophy of customizability and can be easily adapted to meet
the specific requirements of design teams. Unlike the competitive tools,
which are built on other software configuration software, SOS7 has its
own engine optimized for hardware design teams, which enables us to
easily develop new features requested by customers. The SOS7 platform
continues to step up the game by improving performance, security and
network disk space optimization.”
The designHUB platform increased traction in 2018 for IP reuse among
semiconductor companies. The platform enables designers to leverage
internally developed IPs by empowering designers to search and compare
IPs easily across multiple sites, track their usage in IP sub-systems or
SoCs, review open issues for an IP or browse through the IP
knowledgebase before selecting the most suitable IP. designHUB bridges
the gap between IP developers and users by providing users with an
ability to gain insight into the experiences of other users or ask any
questions to the IP developer. With most enterprises using one or more
data management platforms to manage their design data, designHUB works
seamlessly with all commonly used data management systems such as SOS7,
Perforce, Git and Subversion.
The SOS7 platform continued to fortify its position as the market leader
in SoC Design Management by displacing the competition at a number of
accounts and gaining entry into a number of new accounts. ClioSoft
continues to work with a number of EDA vendors and PLM providers to
integrate SOS7 with their solutions. A recent integration with the
Tanner IC Design flow from Mentor, a Siemen’s Business, has proven a
non-intrusive flow for both local and remote design teams to effectively
collaborate on their IPs/SoCs.
The adoption of the designHUB ecosystem and the SOS7 platform continues
ClioSoft’s mission and company vision of delivering a best-in-class SoC
and IP management solutions to customers for design reuse at an
enterprise level which overall enables the delivery of on-time SoCs. The
SOS7 platform continues to remain the only design management platform
for all types of designs with integration to tools from all major
electronic design automation (EDA) tool providers.
