NECNEC Modernizes Product Design with Cadence
NEC, an information technology organization in Japan, uses Cadence Allegro from Cadence to support engineering design for design engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
| Capability | Engineering design stays visible to adjacent teams through Cadence Allegro |
| Capability | Design engineers work from the same Cadence Allegro record for product design |
Story
NEC grew product design faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Design engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Cadence Allegro put engineering design on Cadence. Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies. NEC keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so design engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier engineering design. Product design is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join design engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
