ClioSoft Ends 2008 Financial Year with over 50% Growth in Bookings

Success of ClioSoft’s SOS Design Data Collaboration Platform Leads to 10th Consecutive Year of Growth

FREMONT, CA., January 27, 2009--ClioSoft, Inc., supplier of the design data management (DDM) suite of choice for the electronics industry, ended its 2008 financial year with fifty-one percent growth in bookings over 2007. ClioSoft’s introduction of SOS Enterprise Edition and support for several IC design flows, including Cadence® Virtuoso® 5.x and 6.x, SpringSoft Laker™, and Mentor ICstudio™ provided both the depth and breadth of features to increase deployment in mid-size companies and large enterprises. (See http://www.cliosoft.com/news/press_releases.shtml for more detail.) The company’s free ‘Lite’ version also was adopted by several small design teams.

ClioSoft’s SOS Design Data Collaboration Platform is currently deployed in 75 companies (http://www.cliosoft.com/customers/) over multiple sites with more than 5000 licenses worldwide.

"As budgets are being squeezed, design teams are turning to design management and collaboration to maximize productivity. We saw a noticeable increase in evaluations and purchase of our DDM solutions in the second half of the year," said Srinath Anantharaman, founder and CEO of ClioSoft. "Our early and complete support for Cadence Virtuoso 6.x with the Open Access Database, and the unique Universal DM Adaptor technology introduced with SOS Enterprise Edition, gave design teams the confidence that they could rely on using our DM solution no matter how their design flow changed or what new tools they adopted in the future."
