IC Manage is a company that provides design data management software to semiconductor companies for managing their IC design databases between design teams. IC Manage also provides enterprise software for large scale Perforce customers. IC Manage provides a structured IC design workflow for analog electronics and digital electronics.
In 2004, IC Manage introduced the beta version of its commercial design data management software system that provided version control, configuration management and software bug tracking. The design management system included a graphical Cadence Design Framework user interface and worked with both the Cadence and the OpenAccess databases. It tracked only modified files and stored metadata about revisions and configurations in a relational database separate from the design data.
In 2007, IC Manage announced its Global Design Platform (GDP) design data management system. GDP had bi-directional component tracking for IC revisions and derivatives; mixing, match, and reuse of components and semiconductor intellectual property cores across local and remote design sites; defect tracking and workspace synchronization to the same state when a designer reported, fixed, or verified a software bug.
In 2007, Nvidia manufactured over 100 chips that used IC Manage software during design.
In 2009, IC Manage content management software was mentioned as a technology driver enabling semiconductor companies to do design work across local and remote geographic locations, as part of a significant trend toward outsourcing design work to other countries. IC Manage's software creates a workspace that abstracts the design data from the underlying directory organization.
In 2011, Deepchip.com ranked IC Manage IP Central (IP Pro) as the #1 item to see at the Design Automation conference.
From 2010 through 2014, IC Manage has been included in the annual "What to See at DAC" list by the GarySmith EDA analyst firm. In 2010 for Enterprise Tools, in 2011 for Design Management, in 2012 and 2013 for Design Debug, and in 2014 for Enterprise tools.
