Blue Pearl Software Introduces "No EDA Tool Purchase Plan"

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Jan 21, 2009 -- Blue Pearl Software(TM), Inc. introduces an innovative EDA business model designed to emphasize affordability by offering access to productivity enhancing tools at a fraction of their purchase price. The program offers short term use of the company's tools without incurring the high cost of purchasing, integrating, and learning new tools. The products included in the offer are Indigo RTL Analysis, Cobalt Timing Constraint Generation, and Azure Timing Constraint Validation.

When a company wants to check the quality of their RTL, identify coding errors, generate timing constraints, or validate timing constraints, Blue Pearl Software will immediately send a highly trained applications engineer to run any of the tools and provide results within two business days, including installation and set-up of the chosen tool.

The new program helps designers achieve higher quality RTL netlists, close timing faster, and lower their design risk. It can save weeks of design work while eliminating the costs and time related to the training and deployment of new tools. This allows customers to size their staffing appropriately while working on new developments to drive growth.

"Blue Pearl Software is committed to providing real value and innovation to our customers through superior technology and new business models," stated Ellis Smith, CEO of Blue Pearl Software.

Blue Pearl Software is offering the basic service at a fixed price along with pricing for continuing services. A single run may be purchased for as little as $2,500. No long term commitment is required, and money spent toward this program may be credited toward an actual tool purchase. The full pricing for each product can be found at http://www.bluepearlsoftware.com/products/noedatool.html
