Global Design Management Report 2011

This report is the third annual review of Global Design Management. It is based on an independent worldwide survey executed during April 2011.

465 SoC and IC design professionals - both engineers and engineering management - responded to the survey. This report analyzes the survey results and identifies relevant emerging trends. Its scope spans: the increasing important of IP reuse, integration and verification from a design management standpoint; general design data management driving forces; engineering time associated with managing design management tasks; and ROI and adoption of design management systems.

A key goal of the report is to define the critical elements semiconductor company management must address to guarantee that up-to-date design content is immediately available to all design and verification team members across the enterprise.

The topics covered are:

1. Survey methodology and demographics

2. SoC/IC design primary bottlenecks

3. Organizational drivers for deploying design management systems

4. Top challenges for managing semiconductor IP

5. Design and verification time associated with design management tasks

6. Design management systems - Current adoption and 2011 plans

7. Summary and ROI Impact
