Subject: Dean on IC Manage nGDP next gen graph-based design management tool
DAC'17 Troublemakers Panel in Austin, TX
Dean: We've now introduced nGDP Next Generation GDP from IC Manage.
That's using graph database technology rather than tradition
kind of NoSQL or SQL technology.
With that product, we're seeing another 100x improvement in the
database access. And it's got a far more flexible schema that
fits nicely with the way the hierarchical structures of a
design fit.
And we're able to accommodate even a broader set of design styles
using that. So that's where we think the future is.
Cooley: Does that mean you're bailing on standard Data Management stuff?
Are you giving the market to ClioSoft and those guys?
Dean: For IC Manage Global Design Platform, GDP, we're actually
seeing a surge in interest in that right now. We attribute
that...
Cooley: Why wouldn't you? That doesn't make sense because if markets
are consolidating I mean...
Dean: Well, what we're attributing it to is the M&A going on in the
semiconductor industry. So, these companies are acquiring
each other, merging, combining -- they're doing this to obtain
really good IP.
But what they want is that data to be available to all the
engineers. They end up with design centers, design teams, and
engineers in lots of different locations around the globe.
And they end up with a very big design database that they need
to manage. Often, they have disparate design systems or
disparate design styles between the different teams they are
merging.
Cooley: Right. Doesn't that mean it's a shrinking market and you're
just fighting for space on the Titanic?
Dean: It's not a shrinking market. The number of designers is staying
the same or going up. The number of potential independent DDM
customers is going down. But the total market size -- I mean
EDA continues to grow, albeit in single digits. The market
continues to grow.
For example, we just did a deal with a customer that was the
using one of the aforementioned competitors.
And they had 250 different repos of data storage for different
design data throughout their organization. It had basically
reached the point where it's design data was unmanageable.
They couldn't get reliability. They couldn't get security.
They couldn't get coherence. People couldn't find things.
So, by moving to the IC Manage GDP platform, we were able to move
them to one single, reliable, robust high-speed server so that
things go faster and it's all in one location and secure. And
that's replicated, so that their 20 different design locations
can all get that data.
Cooley: Ok
