Subject: Cadence Connections evicts 48 companies 3 days before deadline
Hi, John,
Please keep me anonymous.
Three days before the renewal date, Cadence evicted 48 EDA companies from
their "Connections" program. I can't believe it! After they forced us to
give them multiple customer references, detailed flow diagrams, etc. to
qualify (which took months) Cadence has told us we were no longer welcome.
Here's who I think got cut from the Cadence Connections program:
Accelicon Technologies, Inc. Agilent Technologies
AMIQ Consulting S.R.L. Anasift Technology
Anchor Semiconductor, Inc. Ansoft Corporation
Applied Wave Research, Inc. Arena Solutions
Averant, Inc. Avery Design Systems
Beach Solutions, Inc. CAD Design Software
ChipMD, Inc. CAST, Inc.
Credence Systems Corporation DownStream Technologies LLC
EVE-USA, Inc. First Silicon Solutions (MIPS)
Flomerics Inc. Forte Design Systems
Incentia Design Systems, Inc. Intercept Technology Inc.
IPextreme Inc. JEDA Technologies, Inc.
Jedat Inc. Legend Design Technology, Inc.
LKSoftware GmbH Magma Design Automation
MatrixOne, Inc. Mentor Graphics
MunEDA GmbH Nascentric
Optimal Corporation (Apache) Precience, Inc.
Real Intent, Inc. RSoft Design Group, Inc.
Sabio Labs Sandwork Design, Inc.
Sigrity, Inc. Stella Corporation
SynaptiCAD Synfora, Inc.
Tenison EDA, Ltd. (ARC) Teseda Corporation
Tuscany Design Automation UGS PLM Solutions
VaST Systems Y Explorations, Inc.
From the Cadence Connections website:
"In keeping with our philosophy of championing and supporting open
industry standards, we collaborate with software suppliers to enhance
the value that customers already find in using Cadence products."
Unless, of course, if they donšt like you! Can you believe this stunt?
