2012: Emulation's Big Year And a Look Ahead to 2013 Dr. Stanley M. Hyduke, Aldec Founder/CEO Like(1) Comments (0) 2012 was an exceptional year for Aldec globally. The company exceeded revenue expectations across all product offerings, the most significant changes coming from Emulation. Aldec continued to see double digit growth in our traditional market areas of FPGA and ASIC HDL Verification (Active-HDL™, Riviera-PRO™) and Design Analysis and Rule Checking (ALINT™). 2012 also brought several successful and strategic account wins in DO-254, RTAX Prototyping adapters, Hardware-Assisted Verification (HES-DVM™) and the shipment of our first HES-7™ ASIC prototyping platforms based on Xilinx® Virtex®-7 2000T. Aldec attributes its success to one simple-yet-obvious formula: listen to the customer then relentlessly strive to meet their real-world needs by delivering award-winning solutions. This explains how Aldec is able to continually serve up innovative products that leverage time-saving methodologies, and is poised to continue to grow as we approach our 30 year anniversary in 2014. Keep your eye on Aldec in 2013 as we introduce new products while continuing to deliver innovative enhancements to our existing solutions - all designed to meet our customer's real-world requirements.
