Dolphin Design
Enhancing Integrated Circuit Design Efficiency & Centralizing Resource Management in the High-Tech Manufacturing Industry
Challenge
Dolphin Design was struggling with resource management due to insufficient data on resource allocation and team workloads.
Solution
Cerri Project provided a cross-platform compatible system with database access features for automated workload data extraction.
The Customer
Dolphin Design operates as a prominent integrated circuit design house and a supplier of silicon intellectual properties and components tailored for large-scale production. Established in 1985, the company has carved a niche in crafting solutions for consumer electronics and the wider electronic design automation industry.
The Challenge
Dolphin Design was grappling with resource management inefficiencies, primarily due to the absence of centralized data on resource allocation and team workloads. Operating with a large skilled workforce across branches in France, Canada and Israel, the lack of an integrated project management system led to disjointed teams and scattered workload information.
The Solution
Cerri Project emerged as the solution, offering a robust software compatible with multiple operating systems to streamline implementation. This solution provided a centralized database that facilitated the automatic extraction of workload information. An integrated simulator within Cerri Project became instrumental in refining resource management.
The Results
The implementation has dramatically refined Dolphin Design's project management approach. By centralizing project documentation, the company now enjoys more efficient project execution and the standardization of methodologies. After seven successful years, Dolphin Design is expanding Cerri Project's use across more users.
