Dataquest analysts have many years of<br />

experience in how to apply the above tools to<br />

get the most accurate information possible on<br />

a particular company (such as what to use<br />

when and what industry averages are). We<br />

believe that the estimates presented here are<br />

the most accurate and meaningful generally<br />

available today. It is the <strong>CAD</strong>/<strong>CAM</strong>/<strong>CAE</strong><br />

group's policy to continually update our market<br />

information for any year, based on any<br />

new data received, in order to arrive at the<br />

most accurate market representation possible.<br />

Dataquest's <strong>CAD</strong>/<strong>CAM</strong>/<strong>CAE</strong> market numbers are<br />

often higher than those reported by other<br />

sources. We survey worldwide, which involves<br />

more vendors, hi^er total market revenue,<br />

lower market share per vendor, and a more<br />

accurate market picture—^particularly useful<br />

when comparing regions or applications.<br />

Notes on Market Share<br />

For the 1991 market share cyde, Dataquest's<br />

<strong>CAD</strong>/<strong>CAM</strong>/<strong>CAE</strong> group added server as a platform.<br />

The platform categories now include<br />

EDA Appllcattons Preliminary Market Share<br />

0<strong>1992</strong> Dataquest Incoiporated Febiuaiy—Reproduction Prohibited<br />

technical workstation, host-dependent, server,<br />

and personal computer. Revenue formerly classified<br />

in technical workstations, host-dependent,<br />

or personal computer may now be more<br />

accurately classified, where appropriate, in the<br />

server category. However, because of this<br />

reclassification, data and growth rates for the<br />

other platform areas were affeaed.<br />

Finally, please note that despite the care taken<br />

in gathering and analyzing tfie available data<br />

and in attempting to categorize those data in a<br />

meaningful way, careful attention must be paid<br />

to the definitions and assumptions used herein<br />

when interpreting the estimates presented in<br />

this document. Various companies, government<br />

agencies, and trade associations may use<br />

slightly different definitions of product categories<br />

and regional groupings, or they may<br />

include different companies in their summaries.<br />

These differences should be kept in mind<br />

when making comparisons between these data<br />

and those provided by others.
