Subject: What would Users NOT Change about Apache
THE VOODOO QUESTION (PART II) -- People laugh at first, but these answers
tell you an awful lot about what Apache is doing right!
"A voodoo priestess formerly from New Orleans swaps your soul with
Andrew Yang, the CEO of Apache. Even though you were a Apache customer
before, now that *you* are the new CEO of Apache:
What 2 or 3 things about Apache would you definitely NOT change?"
Keep innovating! More on SSN simulation enhancements. The current
scheme is very promising.
- Syed Huq of Cisco Systems
1) Small company aggressiveness and feel.
2) That my company is not acquired by Cadence or Synopsys, who would
kill it off over time.

Customer commitment
Focus on quality

Apache's R&D team keeps the core engines running very smoothly.
Maintain (and expand) their effective FAE team. Without the solid
frontline, any complex EDA tool adoption would suffer. Apache has
a solid team at this time.

- [ An Anon Engineer ]
Keep innovating new tools to address issues that big EDA vendors can
not. Like PSiWinder.
Continue enhancing the runtime and ease of use for complex dynamic IR
and PsiWinder analysis.
- [ An Anon Engineer ]
Keep it simple.
- [ An Anon Engineer ]
Their excellent support and the data formats mostly being ASCII
files.
- [ An Anon Engineer ]
Their current team that is executing in a phenomenal manner and their
focus on power closure.
