Summary: Today we are going to talk about two different co-development solutions from IBM - one around the use of ClearCase in conjunction with Cadence Design Systems, a leading EDA company and IBM's own use of Clear Quest by the Hardware division. The reason this is so timely is that increasing electronics companies are seeing software as the catalyst for innovate and product differentiation. Gone are the days when software developers would wait for the latest release of a chip and then determine how to use it; today software frequently drives hardware choices. As a result, companies are recognizing the need for tight coordination and collaboration between the software and hardware engineers and the processes, tools and terminology they use. By having a common set of processes and tools, companies are able codevelop smarter products more efficiently, at a higher quality and lower cost. Speakers: Sreenivasan Rajagopal and Wayne Carrigan.
