Arteris Leaps onto Inc. 500 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Network-on-chip semiconductor IP pioneer achieves three-year 767% sales growth through technology innovation
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Arteris, Inc., the inventor and leading supplier of network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that Inc. magazine ranked the company 496 on its 31st annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at this critical segment of the economy—America's independent entrepreneurs. The semiconductor design IP innovator joined other notable technology members including Facebook, Palo Alto Networks, and SugarSync to name a few. Companies such as Microsoft, Intuit, Vizio, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500.
"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward. Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is," says Inc. magazine Editor Eric Schurenberg.
According to the March 23, 2012 Gartner Research report, "Market Share: Semiconductor Design Intellectual Property, Worldwide, 2011", by Gartner analysts Ganesh Ramamoorthy and Masatsune Yamaji, Arteris charted a 115% increase in IP license revenue in from 2010 to 2011. "Infrastructure IP was the fastest growing semiconductor design IP market after microprocessor IP in the past year. Its growth is correlated with the growing demand for interconnect functionality in advanced system-on-chip designs," said Ganesh Ramamoorthy, research director at Gartner. "The increasing interconnect requirements of SoC vendors is driving the demand for network on chip technology provided by IP companies."
Sales of Arteris' unique FlexNoC NoC interconnect IP product have driven the growth of the company as Arteris' patented NoC technology displaces older interconnect technologies such as hybrid busses, tiered switches and crossbars.
"We are very excited to be named to the Inc. 500 list," said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris. "Since our founding in 2003, Arteris has charted our own path by continually delivering unique network-on-chip interconnect IP technology to the market. The fact that our fast growth and rapid adoption by leading companies such as Samsung, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments has occurred during challenging economic times proves that our FlexNoC IP saves our customers money, and helps them earn more revenue from their SoCs. Our internal data, based on customer experience, shows a 10x return on investment (ROI) when using Arteris IP for advanced SoC designs. This ROI results from cost savings, schedule savings, and increased SoC revenue due to better SoC performance."
