What Happened?
Yesterday, Synopsys announced that it had completed the acquisition of CoWare that it had originally announced on February 8th.
VDC's View
The acquisition of CoWare, a leading ESL and virtual platform solution provider, will help further strengthen Synopsys' System-Level Design Division that was already bolstered by the addition of VaST's tool suite last month.
Whereas Synopsys' recent acquisitions certainly underscore their commitment to ESL and, more specifically, virtual platform technology, VDC expects that the future success of these acquisitions will rest on Synopsys' ability to manage the inherited client and partner relationships and minimize any uncertainty surrounding the company's long-term commitment to the newly acquired tool suites.
