■ Introduction

– D&R Web site Eyes

■ IP Providers and Acquisition

■ What’s the market looking for

■ And next :D&R New initiatives

– www. DR-Embedded.com– Ecommerce and next B2B Wanted product Market Place – Patent and Innovation

Outline

D&R Web site Eyes

■ From 97 to 2000 D&R website most of the numbers grow and then stay close to stable

■ Users– IP/SoC community was born

– 15,000 daily updated IP/SOC products descriptions

– 35.000 registered members

– 70,000 Absolute Unique Visitors / Month (source: Google Analytics)

– Geographic distribution was the most evolving parameter Asia and Far East growth

– IP SoC News Letter

– B2B Market Place (Wanted IPs)

4



SIP Providers

■ Broad distribution of IP providers with regards to their core business

– Shift from licensable IP providers (Star

IPs) to other players: Design Center, EDA vendors, Fabless IC vendors, Foundries etc…

– IPs are viewed as catalysts of a broader Product (EDA , foundries, IC vendors...)

– IP does not refer to the business model

but to the "Intellectual production" of designers: Design innovation portal

■ D&R mission: Publish and report on innovation in the design area

Outline

■ Introduction

– D&R Web site Eyes

■ IP Providers life cycle and Acquisition




6



IP Provider Life cycle

■ Initially IP Providers as independent providers

– Connectivity ,interface IP: Standard follow up – Analog, libraries: engineering skill and know how :technology

follow up– Innovative product differentiator: application specific

subsystem

■ Life cycle?

IP provider/(acquisition??) /Design house**Fabless IC Vendor **Equipment

■ Increased visibility of bigger players

– Design centers – EDA vendor– Fabless I.C vendors

• Third Party Alliance – I.D.M…..

7



Following Market Evolution

■ The market evolution

– Less Asic design, Exponential growth in Asic Design cost

– Market consolidation towards large companies civering vertical market segments

• Accelerated IP Provider acquisition flow • Predictable? How does it affect IP community?

■ Study Case

– EDA Vendors Synopsys ,Mentor, Cadence – IP providers Arm, Silicon Image – Fabless I.C Vendors Xilinx, Altera ,PMC Sierra – Semi Conductor Vendors Texas Instruments ,Intel

Global Solutions

■ Following the vertical consolidation

– Publicize Provider Global offer – Starting Point: Core centric middleware

• A significant number of providers provide both ( Silicon IPs and Embedded software )

• Cross fertilization through links between SIP and Embedded

■ Next :

– Understand better the market offer and needs

– Explore ecommerce techniques and benefits

Ecommerce

■ D&R B2B “Wanted IP” experiences

– IP community widely spread around the world– Strategic IPs for project can be in the hand of a “remote “ small provider

– Time to market can require extremely fast decision

■ Dialog and confidence must be established promptly for speeding up the sales decision and process

■ First trial of ecommerce targeting middleware – Broad worldwide offer not yet fully identified– Evaluation package may be available on platform families– Speed up selection phase:

• Vendor ,product, client project qualification in private areas

– Extension to full sales with on line payment ????
