Results of an industry-wide survey of more than 900 professionals evaluating the state of IP and design data management.
As electronic design becomes increasingly complex, traditional approaches to IP and design data management are reaching their limits. Fragmented systems, inconsistent documentation, and unclear version control are slowing collaboration, increasing rework, and ultimately constraining innovation. The ability to manage design data effectively is no longer a background concern — it’s a foundational requirement for modern engineering success.
While IP and data management may not always be the most visible topic in engineering discussions, its impact is unmistakable. As recent survey results make clear, organizations across the electronics industry are struggling with the same recurring challenges: lost productivity due to manual version tracking, duplicated effort in IP reuse, poor documentation practices, and difficulty scaling data across projects and teams. Between September and October 2024, Keysight conducted an industry-wide survey of more than 900 professionals to evaluate the state of IP and design data management. The findings reveal a clear consensus — improvements in these areas could unlock significant gains in efficiency, innovation, and time-to-market.
This whitepaper combines those insights and provides practical, field-tested recommendations for addressing these challenges. It explores how the right data management strategy — and the right tools — can turn a source of frustration into a competitive advantage. By implementing a dedicated IP and design data management platform such as Keysight’s SOS, companies can streamline design workflows, reduce risk, and strengthen collaboration across distributed teams.
