In the new model, Cadence will provide Unisys and other electronics companies with product design expertise, methodologies, and advanced software necessary to create leading-edge electronic product development environments (PDEs).

"A number of significant deliverable milestones were achieved under Spectrum Services contracts during the first quarter, most notably at Intel, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company.
