Semiconductor development today is based on shorter lifecycles, more competitive markets, and less forgiving technology than ever before. Product complexity and density continue to increase while average sales prices and margins continue to shrink. Problems that increase the length or number of design cycles or mistakes that cause additional re-spins of a die can make the difference between profit and loss for a new product or even result in project cancellation. Helping Semiconductor companies address these challenges, ENOVIA products deliver the following value:

- Provide technical and business decision makers with increased project status visibility and accuracy so that they can determine and update investment priorities.

- Capture the voice of the customer with a robust requirements management process that is used to drive intellectual property (IP) buy versus build decisions and flexible design solutions.

- Equip digital and system-on-chip (SoC) design teams with differentiating “modules” technology that increases productivity in hierarchical, SoC product development and integration projects.

- Provide open collaboration to digital and software developers within the Microsoft Visual Studio environment.

- Enhance design efficiency and extend product life spans with an enterprise IP management platform to capture, search, request, deliver and support the vast amount of corporate IP available to all IC design teams.

- Provide a scalable and extensible PLM platform covering the full breadth of product development and aligned with corporate IT specifications and forward-looking architectures.

- Increase accuracy and automation in creating and organizing product configurations.
