Three Challenges Impacting Development
Organizations
Accelerating Design Complexity
Modern PCB systems are highly complex 1 Challenge
Workforce Changes
Shrinking workforce of dedicated layout designers
Engineering graduate rates in decline
2 Challenge
3 Challenge Systems Aware Engineering
Transitioning from stand-alone PCB projects to a systems-based approach

Systems are far more complex today than they were just five years ago.
• Demand for increased functionality
• Higher performance
• A smaller form factor
• Lower cost
• High manufacturability
• Faster design time
