Re: Thoughts on Acquisition?     21-Oct-09 04:20 pm    
Except that the Genesis product was sold to FrontLine years ago. All Valor has now is their Assembly and Design DFM tools, including their on-line parts library. Look for more integration inside the Mentor PCB tools with the PCB Matrix tools thjat Valor bought not too long ago.

A lot depends on how they handle things. If Mentor handles this like Cadence handled their acquisition of Cooper-Chyan, the profitibility will drop thru the floor as competing CAD vendors beef up their own DFM offering. Cadence has had most of this capability in their tools for a while, but have let it sit without a lot of support since it was introduced.

Good luck to all, and to all a good night.
