Thales Group is standardising on Innoveda's Visual Elite technology as its solution for advanced HDL and system-level design. Thales chose Innoveda's Visual Elite solution for its superior technology, high level of functionality and ease of use. Established in France more than a century ago, Thales is a global electronics company serving the aerospace, defence and information technology markets.

With 65,000 employees and operations in more than 30 countries, the Thales Group generated 8.6 billion euros in revenues in 2000.

According to Yves Boccon-Gibod, manager of Thales' Research and Technology Hardware Engineering Department, "We chose Visual Elite to help standardise our design flow for complex FPGA design.

This flow requires the most advanced software technology to handle increasing design complexity and enable design collaboration across multiple design units and sites.

Innoveda has worked with us to tightly integrate Visual Elite with our group-wide ATDM design flow, achieving a solution tailored to our needs that also leverages our previous investments".

Thales first selected Innoveda solutions in 1998, to support design entry for complex FPGAs using HDL.

Its Research and Technology Engineering Department is responsible for the support and development of tools and methodology throughout the group.

Franz Maidl, Innoveda's vice president and general manager of European Operations, added, "Use of the Visual Elite suite will enable Thales to strengthen its ATDM design flow, increase collaboration among design teams, optimize costs on a global basis and maximize productivity group-wide.

By working together to integrate the software and design flow, Thales and Innoveda are empowering the group to operate confidently in the emerging technology markets of the new millennium".
