<%=company%>, an EDA company focused on improving electronic design team productivity with its design data management system, SOS, announced today that it has signed a distribution partner in the U.S.A., EDA Direct, and has opened three offices in Europe in the U.K., Belgium and Sweden.

SOS fits easily and non-intrusively into existing design environments and Intranets and has no extra administration overhead. Because of this growing demand, we are adding experienced distribution partners in the U.S.A. and opening offices in Europe," noted Srinath Anantharaman, president of ClioSoft.
Micke Wersall, ClioSoft's European manager, added, "European designers are looking for better solutions for managing their design data and collaborating. As projects now span across sites and continents design data management tools like SOS are essential. SOS is favoured by our European customers because it is powerful but at the same time very easy to use."
Bob Slee, director of sales, EDA Direct, commented, "We hear from customers that in order to do successful SOC design, data management and team collaboration is vital. By partnering with ClioSoft, we provide a complete solution for release management, revision control, multi-site support and team collaboration to our customers."
