AmazonCadence at Amazon: Product Lifecycle
Amazon, a consumer discretionary organization in the United States, uses Sigrity from Cadence to support change control for engineering and quality.
Amazon runs change control on Cadence so ownership is obvious when work stalls.
“From the United States, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer.”
“Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies.”

Story
Amazon grew product lifecycle data faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Engineering and quality were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Sigrity put change control on Cadence. Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies. Amazon keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so engineering and quality do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier change control. Product lifecycle data is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join engineering and quality without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
