Altium 365 and Nexar, that dou- ble-sided cloud platform, can run on either the standard Amazon cloud, which is quite secure, as well as the GovCloud that is generally ac- ceptable in ITAR environments. Johnson: How welcoming is Altium 365 and Nexar to other PCB design tools? Is this some- thing where some of the other PCB design tool players can plug in and play? Pawela: Actually, we would love for that to hap- pen. For example, just last week we put out a press release about our partnership with Sin- tecs, a company in the Netherlands that is a Hy- perLynx reseller for Mentor. Sintecs has built an integration with us on the Nexar platform to help Altium Design- er and HyperLynx work together more seam- lessly through that API access rather than the file exchange. at's the kind of thing that peo- ple would raise their eyebrows and ask, "Why would you want your competitor's tools to go into the hands of your customers?" But it's ex- actly for what you're saying: We are trying to build an ecosystem, and we recognize that we don't have all the capabilities that we need in order to support this end-to-end process from design through manufacturing. Sometimes our competitors have those things, and we want to invite them to bring their PADS, Allegro, Xpe- dition, KiCAD, or EAGLE files and be able to work with them in the same way they can with Altium Designer. e reality is that for many—if not most—of our customers, their CAD environment is het- erogeneous. ey have some of ours, they have
