In the world of mergers and acquisitions, one of the biggest challenges is how to present the combined company (or companies) to the outside world. When Siemens acquired Mentor Graphics for $4.5 billion back in 2016, I am sure I am not the only member of the media who found the “Mentor, a Siemens business” rather clunky to use when writing articles.
Well now, Siemens has announced, through a blog from Joe Sawicki, its executive vice president for IC-EDA, that the Mentor division will finally become Siemens EDA. The organization will continue to operate as part of Siemens Digital Industries Software.
