Eliminate risk and get your design right, first time, every time

A sneak preview of Altium Designer's automated, high-integrity design configuration and design release technologies

SYDNEY, Australia – May 6, 2010 – Learn how to eliminate the fear and uncertainty of releasing an electronics design to production at Altium's webinar 'Right First Time: Design Configuration and Release Process Management'. The webinar will take place May 20th, 27th and June 10th, 2010 at 2:00pm ASIA EST time.

In this free online webinar, Altium expert Matt Berggren will peel the covers off the forthcoming Altium Designer Release 10 and demonstrate how its new Design Configuration and Release Management technologies consign "hope" to the waste bin of electronics design.

These are new features that expand Altium's existing data management functionality and redefine release validation: they will let electronics designers tailor their design information to each project's production needs.

They also bring together Altium's Configuration Management, Version Control and new life-cycle data, to create a formal release and design audit system that puts an end to all design errors.

"The scenario we're addressing is all too familiar to every electronics designer on the planet: the euphoria of a design well done, on time, on budget and to specification, is eclipsed by the anxiety in committing that design to manufacture," said Matt Berggren, Master Electronics Designer Success Manager at Altium.

"It only takes one oversight to bring the entire production process to a stand-still. Altium Designer Release 10 will help electronics designers perform all the necessary checks before release in a completely automated and close-to-foolproof system.

"What does this mean? All the guesswork goes and engineers can release their designs to production knowing that they will come back and work first time."

The webinar will last one hour and is recommended for Engineering Managers, PCB Designers, Project Managers, and System Design, Hardware, Production, Prototype and Mechanical Engineers.
