Fabless semiconductor companies have some very unique requirements, which is why Tensoft developed its . But one thing that they have in common with many other companies is the tendency to have separate silos of information throughout the company. We've created a short video to illustrate how this happens, what results, and how Tensoft SemiOps helps.

For those who may prefer to read the video script instead, I've included that below too:
Some days do you feel like you're surrounded by separate, impenetrable siloes of information at your semiconductor company? Looking around you at the systems and processes that may work for one department - but not for the whole company - do you sometimes wonder: "How can we succeed with such limited resources?" or "Will we ever be able to deliver on time?" or "Why can't we scale efficiently?"
In its earlier days, it may have been enough for each department at your company to have its own growing silo of information. Operations created a vast Access database to do its WIP tracking, which soon filled up their silo. Accounting's silo brimmed with data from splendid Excel spreadsheets. And in their silo, Customer Service's shipping processes were tracked here and there - and yet again over here.
But soon, Operations found that they needed better insight into product costs and visibility across supplier systems. And Accounting found that growth and customer expectations put strains on their ability to get the information that they needed from other departments' silos. And Customer Service found that on-time delivery became harder and harder without visibility into what was going on overseas.
So how can you turn miscommunication, data redundancy, limited visibility and lack of controls into synchronization, integration, transparency, and a single version of truth?
