Keysight Enables Enterprise-Scale AI Adoption in Semiconductor Design with SOS Enterprise

Key Terms

machine learning technical

Machine learning is a set of computer programs that learn patterns from large amounts of data and improve their predictions or decisions over time, like a recipe that gets better each time it’s adjusted based on taste tests. For investors it matters because these systems can speed up analysis, spot trends or risks humans might miss, automate routine work, and potentially create competitive advantages or cost savings that affect a company’s performance.

software bill of materials technical

A software bill of materials is a detailed inventory of all the components, libraries and open-source pieces used to build a software product—think of it like an ingredient label for software. It matters to investors because it makes security, licensing and maintenance risks visible, helping assess potential costs from vulnerabilities, legal obligations or required updates and therefore influencing a company’s risk profile and future cash needs.

geofencing technical

Geofencing is creating an invisible, virtual fence around a physical area so software can detect when a mobile device or asset enters or leaves that zone and trigger actions like alerts, ads, or access controls. For investors, it matters because it can improve customer targeting, drive sales or foot traffic, streamline operations, and introduce privacy or regulatory risks that affect revenue and legal exposure — like a digital gatekeeper that can boost efficiency or create compliance costs.

role-based access control technical

Role-based access control is a system that gives people access to company systems, files or tools based on the job they do — like issuing keys that only open the rooms needed for each role. For investors, it matters because it reduces the chance of data breaches, fraud, or accidental errors, supports regulatory compliance, and helps preserve business continuity and trust, all of which can affect a company’s financial risk and reputation.

Software automates engineering data governance and traceability across distributed organizations to accelerate AI integration

SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced SOS Enterprise, an advanced edition of its engineering data management platform. The solution builds on the SOS Core software and automates engineering data governance and traceability to prepare for AI adoption at scale.

SOS Enterprise offers enterprise‑grade engineering data management with built‑in governance and traceability.

As semiconductor and electronics development accelerates, engineers face growing design complexity and rapidly increasing data volumes - challenges that intensify for organizations operating at multiple sites. At this scale, engineering data siloed across fragmented tools and file systems causes teams to lose significant productivity to manual workflows. They spend substantial time searching for information, frequently work with incorrect data versions, and must dedicate additional effort to resolve integrity and correlation issues. This lack of traceability creates compliance burdens and limits AI adoption, as machine learning systems require well-organized data to function reliably at scale.

SOS Enterprise provides a single system of record that turns fragmented design information into governed, reusable knowledge across distributed organizations. The software establishes clear data lineage, enables automated compliance tracking, and standardizes engineering information management across multiple sites and regulatory environments. By treating design files and verification data as versioned, traceable assets, the platform prepares engineering teams to integrate AI tools into design and verification workflows.

Key benefits of SOS Enterprise include:

• Automated compliance at enterprise scale: Provides audit trails, role-based access control, and software bill of materials tracking without adding to engineering workloads. This addresses regulatory requirements for industries like aerospace and defense and automotive.
• Enhanced data security and access control: Protects sensitive IP with fine-grained permissions, geofencing, and compliance-driven restrictions across regions and teams.
• Eliminates manual work: Automates traceability and custom workflows throughout the design lifecycle, tracking data origins and relationships while preparing engineering information for AI integration.
• Improved IP reuse across sites: Enables teams at any location to discover and reuse validated IP through a single system of record.

Simon Rance, General Manager, Data and IP Management at Keysight, said: "Engineering organizations tell us they're ready to adopt AI, but their data isn't. When design files, verification results, and IP libraries are scattered across disconnected systems, AI tools can't deliver trustworthy outcomes. We built SOS Enterprise to solve that foundational problem by automating the governance and traceability work that's currently done manually, making their engineering data AI-ready so teams can focus on innovation rather than data management. Early customer deployments have demonstrated significant improvements in IP reuse, faster project orchestration, and reduced operational overhead."
