  • Internal challenges:
  • IP info scattered in different databases, in

different formats, time consuming to correlate and prove accuracy

  • External challenges:
  • Many IP vendors with different compliance

requirements, hard to provide accurate royalty reporting, risk of costly audit

Intel Speaks of the Challenge of IP Tracking

The complexity of keeping track of IP versions and IP drops within the SOC execution schedule becomes a very hard and tedious problem to resolve… To determine this, it takes several weeks and even months of human glue effort to create a detailed list of all IP’s in the SOC BOM.

The Solution: Add SALT Trace to PLM

The goal: IP tracking throughout product life cycle so as to provide real time dashboards including:

  • All SOC configuration deployed
  • In term of IP provider reference number, features,

monetization

  • Licenses fees aggregation based on license models

defined in PLM with data volumes
