ClioSoft, Inc., an EDA company focused on improving electronic design team productivity with its design data management system, SOS, announced today that it has signed a distribution partner in the U.S.A., EDA Direct, and has opened three offices in Europe in the U.K., Belgium and Sweden. ClioSoft's design data management product, SOS, improves a design team's productivity by non-intrusively managing design data and enhancing designer-to-designer and designer-to-manager communication. By using SOS, design team leaders can track progress and tape-out designs with less overhead and more confidence. "Design data management is on the critical path to tape-out.

Because of this growing demand, we are adding experienced distribution partners in the U.S.A. and opening offices in Europe," noted Srinath Anantharaman, president of ClioSoft. Micke Wersall, ClioSoft's European manager, added, "European designers are looking for better solutions for managing their design data and collaborating. As projects now span across sites and continents design data management tools like SOS are essential. SOS is favoured by our European customers because it is powerful but at the same time very easy to use."
