License Request Management for worldwide products (IP and Software) within corporate agreements for supplier products in the name of all decentralized corporate divisions aims at saving designer’s time thus increasing their productivity as well as controlling budget and license costs. Directly connected to the External Supplier catalogs, license requests are controlled by managers through license request panels and the workflow of approvals is optimized across the corporation. The status of licenses requests and licenses running all over the geographical centers is displayed at the management levels and cost saving by license sharing becomes straightforward. Ordering a set of products is handled as a hierarchical set of license requests (IP and software) and follows the same workflow than basic licenses. |

D & R Enterprise IP Management System
IP based design is an approach that SoC design teams, fabless IC vendors and Electronic System designers must use due to the high levels of integration in today’s chip designs. IP used in today’s designs may have been developed internally or obtained from multiple external sources worldwide. Design teams are typically distributed worldwide, making the job of administering access to external and internal IP a major challenge for SoC and electronic product managers.
Design & Reuse ("D&R") has recognized these challenges and has responded with a solution that keeps pace with the multiple facets and ever–changing requirements of IP management. The D&R Enterprise IP Management solution (IPMS™)addresses the management of internal and external IP, from IP design to IP delivery and integration.
D&R Enterprise IP Management system (IPMS™) is a Java-based modular platform supporting an extensible and configurable set of management features that covers all facets of IP management, including publishing, client delivery , reuse for Internally developed IP, and multiple aspects of managing Externally Sourced IP such as usage tracking, revision control, license key management, contracts and finance.
Runs on any O.S ( Windows,Unix Linux..) and machine/server.

"We had been looking at different solutions to improve the IP release flow to our customers. We were immediately interested in IPMS™ as it addressed our requirements, including a web-based user interface, bug reporting capability, packaging and delivery combined solution, security, and customizable features for added flexibility. Our experience with Gabriele's team has been very positive once we started working out the implementation details. In short, we are very happy with the collaboration between SST and D&R and with the results."
- said Pascal Adam SST Product Marketing Manager - SST Licensing Division
Microchip SST won the Best IPMS™ 2018 user prize -
"We use IPMS™ for many years and we first wonder how it would be possible to update accurately our partners and customers about our IP list without IPMS™. Having at any time synchronized views about what is available and delivered, together with pending bug, enhances our productivity and our customer support for years."
- said Frederic MASSON, Director of Silicon IP Operations at Dolphin Integration, who got thebest IPMS™ User Prize 2017 -
"Tracing hierarchical system and supporting multiple configurations at each level configurations is of high interest not only for IP based systems but for full equipment involving hardware, software and more. This platform is unique and very easy to use"
- Beny T., IP Platform Manager, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, LTD an Israeli defense company -
"We have been using the D&R platform for several years as a product catalog and associated "IP shelf delivery" panels, which trace the IP releases delivered to customers. With this new release, we extend our reach by managing package deliveries. It enables to easily prepare a package of products, while independently storing the evolution of products inside the package. It is straightforward and it speeds-up our delivery process"
- Aurélie Descombes, web-marketer at Dolphin Integration - "We launched the web site in 2016 using IMPS to deliver Trailblaze software and memory compilers and have been using it to make deliveries worldwide. IPMS offers a straightforward integrated solution from IP Release to Delivery"
