"Blaze DFM is among the leading EDA technology companies, who understand the value of adding quality and proven components to their software, so they can commercialise products faster and focus on their core expertise".
SoftJin's offerings used by Blaze include the bidirectional OpenAccess to Oasis translator and custom verification package for validation of key software modules of Blaze's products.
"Speed is of the essence to us".
"As a startup, Blaze's existence depends on our ability to deliver high-value products to our customers on a timely basis", said Dr Steffen Rochel, Vice-President of Engineering at Blaze.
"Wherever possible, we leverage existing technology and infrastructure".
"That's what drove our selection of the OpenAccess database and our licensing of EDA software components from SoftJin".
