FishTail
Expands its Sales and Support Operations around the Globe;
signs distributors in Europe and Southeast Asia Portland,
Oregon, September 8, 2004 - FishTail Design Automation, Inc., the
golden timing constraints company, today announced the signing of
exclusive distribution agreements with both Saros Technology Ltd. in
Europe and Advinno Technologies in Southeast Asia. The new distributors
join SC HighTech in Japan in marketing FishTail's Focus™ timing closure
products. The company also has direct sales and support offices in the
United States. The distributors will provide customers with front-line
sales and support in their regions.
"We have seen tremendous interest in our Focus product since our launch
earlier this year," commented Ajay Daga, founder and CEO of FishTail. "We
view Europe and Southeast Asia as significant growth opportunities and
both Saros and Advinno have a solid customer base in their regions and
in-depth knowledge of the growing problems related to timing closure. We
are confident that their expertise will help us to penetrate those regions
and bring value to the chip implementation process by solving the problems
related to timing constraints."
"Focus is a major addition to our existing product offerings," said Carey
Sayer, Managing Director of Saros. "We see Focus' ability to automatically
extract false and multi-cycle paths from our customer's designs as a huge
step forward in helping our customers meet timing closure on critical
designs."
"Our goal is to be the leading design solutions company in South-East
Asia," stated Terry Teh, Director of Advinno. "Adding the Focus solution
to our offerings is a boon to our existing EDA tool suite. Our customers
are designing chips where timing is critical and the Focus solution will
help to increase designer productivity and improve the quality of their
results."

About Focus
FishTail's Focus™ product solves the time-consuming problem of poor
chip-implementation results because of missing timing exceptions by
identifying false and multi-cycle paths early in the design cycle - before
virtual prototyping and logic synthesis. Using only the synthesizable
description and clock definitions, Focus automatically generates the
timing exceptions for the design in standard SDC file format for use by
downstream implementation tools.
About FishTail Design Automation
Founded in 2002, FishTail Design Automation has set its sights on tackling
the difficult problem of precise constraints on chip timing - the area
where the success or failure of a design is ultimately determined. The
company's patent-pending technology improves chip implementation by
automatically identifying exceptions to single-cycle clocking from RTL
descriptions. FishTail is privately funded. For more information about
