At the CDN Live San Jose event on 10/27, the morning was devoted to the new program called EDA360.  As one of the chief architects of the  plan program John Bruggeman, CMO for Cadence, evangelized about the program.  The overview of EDA360 is that is more than a company direction, it is a strategy of survival and  growth for the EDA industry.  Cadence, along with EDA leaders Synopsys and Mentor, have now all acknowledged that at 30+ years of age, the EDA industry has to change from just point tools and support services to being an integrated solution provider in the electronic products ecosystem.  The EDA360 concept relates to the interconnected nature of modern design where process technology through SOC design to full system and software creation are dependent on each other.
