Story
Ikea grew simulation faster than the local tools around it. From the Netherlands, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Analysts and design leads were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Cadence Allegro put virtual testing on Cadence. Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies. Ikea keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so analysts and design leads do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier virtual testing. Simulation is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join analysts and design leads without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
