Linux - Open Source White Papers

Mainsoft Cuts Cost, Complexity and Beats Competitor in Side-by-Side Comparison

Overview Mainsoft helped Mentor Graphics save time and money. Mentor Graphics transitioned from a development environment that produced separate code streams for UNIX and Windows platforms, to a more efficient, cost-effective, single Windows source code environment. Using Visual MainWin for UNIX & Linux to seamlessly port Windows source code to UNIX, Mentor Graphics successfully delivered all the products in its PCB design suite on time. As a result, the company now benefits from an easier, lower-cost development cycle year after year. Since the multi-platform PCB design suite first shipped, Mainsoft's Visual MainWin for UNIX & Linux has become a standard part of all new development projects at Mentor Graphics.
