ClioSoft Opens Sales Channel in Israel

Sital Technology to represent ClioSoft’s products in Israel

FREMONT, CA., Dec 7, 2005--ClioSoft, Inc., a leading supplier of data management solutions for hardware designers, announced that it has entered into a partnership with Sital Technology to represent ClioSoft’s products in Israel.

Israel is a major center for innovation in electronics. Semiconductor and systems design is growing rapidly in Israel and designers are facing very large scale SOC and HW/SW design projects with extremely tight schedules. Efficiently managing the vast amounts of data and coordinating the development of several engineers, often spread globally across multiple sites, is a key requirement for successful delivery of products on time and with high quality. ClioSoft provides scalable and reliable data management solutions for multi-site, multi-platform development and is specially tuned to meet the needs of hardware designers. ClioSoft’s SOS family of products improve design team productivity by non-intrusively managing design data and enhancing designer-to-designer and designer-to-manager communication whether they are all in the same building or geographically dispersed across different continents. By using SOS, design team leaders can track progress and tape-out designs faster, with greater confidence and significantly reduced overhead.

"After a thorough investigation we concluded that Sital is the ideal choice to represent us in Israel. Having a strong technical local support staff is extremely important to us. ClioSoft’s Design Data Collaboration Platform is seamlessly integrated with design flows and Sital’s expertise with design automation tools from leading vendors such as Mentor Grapics will be a great asset to our customers." said Srinath Anantharaman, CEO of ClioSoft. "The sales team at Sital is very knowledgeable and has strong connections with the Electronics Industry in Israel. Sital’s marketing and technical expertise will provide ClioSoft a unique opportunity to penetrate this very important market."

"We were looking for first-class products that could expand our offering to our HDL, Mixed Signal IC and PCB customers, and found ClioSoft as a perfect fit to our customers’ needs and requirements. ClioSoft’s SOS is very well integrated into EDA tools that we provide, and can successfully compete with any other Data Management tool in the market." said Duli Yariv, VP Marketing and Sales of Sital. "We are very pleased that ClioSoft selected Sital as its distributor in Israel. We know that the Electronics Industry in Israel was looking for such solutions, and we are looking forward to fill this need." Duli added.
