DE Managing Editor Jamie Gooch's editorial in the March issue, "Engineering Help Wanted," prompted me to share how many of the factors he describes have affected our own service business. To give this some context, Maplesoft has been developing tools for model-based design (MBD) and analysis for 25 years. But it has become increasingly apparent that the glory days of the 1980s and 1990s, when an engineering software company could pump out new products for consumption by a technology-starved market, are long over. Engineers are now drowning in "productivity tools." They are now much more interested in a complete solution than "better technology."
