Tieto Joins Atrenta’s SpyLinks™ Partner Program

SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 23, 2009— Atrenta Inc., the leading provider of Early Design Closure® solutions to radically improve design efficiency throughout the IC design flow, today announced that Tieto (formerly TietoEnator Corporation) has joined Atrenta’s SpyLinks partner program and adopted Atrenta’s SpyGlass solution to improve the overall quality of semiconductor IP and system on chip (SoC) designs.

Tieto, a leading design services company for the FPGA and ASIC markets in Europe, has adopted Atrenta’s GuideWare™ methodology to streamline in-house IP development, design and IP handoff from customers, and SoC integration. The goal of the partnership is to standardize design intent handoff from customers to Tieto. Atrenta will contribute expertise in tools and methodology and Tieto will contribute expertise in SoC design. Both companies will jointly promote this next generation design flow to customers in Europe.

“Atrenta’s SpyGlass enables us to gauge quickly the quality of incoming RTL designs from our customers, reduce risks (e.g. effort and time) and then plan project resources and timelines accordingly,” said Rudolf Krumenacker, head of embedded systems design at Tieto. “For our complex SoC designs, the clock domain crossing (CDC) capabilities in SpyGlass have proven to be mission critical. We are pleased to collaborate with Atrenta to raise the overall quality and reliability of our designs and achieve productivity gains for our customers.”

“I am excited to have Tieto as a SpyLinks partner and look forward to our joint effort towards extending the benefits of Atrenta’s Early Design Closure solutions to our common customers in Europe,” said Dieter Rudolf, strategic account manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Atrenta. “Together, we can promote Atrenta tools and methodologies to customers that can benefit from a standardized design flow. This flow provides early visibility into critical design issues before significant effort has gone into final product rollout.”
