FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
3C Software Announces Agreement with Xilinx
3C Software, providers of the enterprise cost management
system, Impact:3C®, announced a software license and
professional services agreement with San Jose, California
based Xilinx, Inc. Xilinx will use Impact:3C® to calculate
and report detailed product and process costs for its San
Jose manufacturing location. Xilinx joins Cypress
Semiconductor, TriQuint Semiconductor, AMD (Advanced Micro
Devices), Anadigics, Analog Devices, and SDL, Inc as
semiconductor manufacturers who have chosen Impact:3C® as
their cost management system.
Xilinx, the leading supplier of complete programmable logic
solutions, develops manufactures and markets a broad line of
advanced integrated circuits, software design tools and
intellectual property delivered as predefined system-level
functions. Customers use automated software tools and cores
from Xilinx and its partners to program the chips to perform
custom logic operations or other system-level processing
functions. Founded in 1984, Xilinx has more than 5,000
customers worldwide. Fiscal 2000 revenues were $1.02
billion.
3C Software, founded in 1988, specializes in enterprise cost
management systems for process intense manufacturers. Their
software product, Impact:3C®, is currently running at over
350 manufacturing locations. A partial list of 3C clients
includes: PPG Industries, Pratt & Whitney, Mohawk
Industries, Russell Corporation, Champion International,
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company and Minnesota Corn Processors.
3C Software's product, Impact:3C®, is designed to handle the
complex needs of process intensive manufacturing industries
like semiconductor, chemical, metals, pulp and paper,
textile, glass, electronics and food processing. Complex
issues such as process yield/loss, product obsolescence/down
grade, multiple/alternate product routings, and engineering
change effective dates, as well as typical cost accounting
calculations like allocations, burden rates and process
throughputs, are easily handled by Impact:3C®.
Impact:3C's flexibility, driven by its object-oriented
design, allows each client to model their own unique
manufacturing process and cost methodology. The modeling
process does not involve source code change, so
implementations are much faster and much less expensive than
traditional software implementations. Impact:3C® models can
also be replicated for use in forward looking and "what if"
scenarios.
