The Executive Team, Manny & Nancy Marcano
How It All Began...
Manny Marcano, President and CEO of EMA Design Automation, started EMA in 1989, when Manny was walking the floor of a trade show in California. "We had been thinking of some kind of change for a while," said Nancy Marcano, Manny's wife and now vice president of EMA. "He told me, 'That's it. I want to make my own company’... he's a born salesman, so I was confident."
Manny Marcano served in the Air Force from 1972 until 1980. While he served, Manny earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from the University of Maryland, in 1980. When Manny left the Air Force, he and Nancy moved to Rochester, New York, so he could attend the Rochester Institute of Technology where he obtained his Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1982.
Manny soon realized he wanted to concentrate on selling engineering solutions, not designing them. Manny worked for a couple different VAR’s in Rochester before starting EM Associates (EMA) in 1989. During that time, Nancy Marcano was taking care of the Marcano children, assisting with their start-up business, and working toward obtaining her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from the State University of New York Geneseo.
EMA started as a small company in the basement of their home. In 1995, the territory expanded, and the name changed from EM Associates to EMA Mid-Atlantic. At that time, EMA employed on average about 10 employees. Sales kept growing, and EMA was making a name for itself in the EDA marketplace.
EMA sold electronic design software made by Cadence Design Systems, Inc., based in San Jose, California, and had a sales territory in the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic states. Sales grew gradually. In July 2002, Cadence asked EMA to take on thousands of its small and medium-size customers nationwide. It was a blockbuster deal, and the Marcano’s quickly set plans to hire more workers and move from EMA's space in their small farmhouse to office space of its own. The company is now based at 225 Tech Park Drive, Rochester, New York. There are now 100+ people employed by EMA. "What's next is we grow to service larger accounts," Marcano said, "and offer other product lines that go with our Cadence systems."

EMA Announces TimingDesigner Release 9.3
EMA Releases TimingDesigner 9.3 with
New Documentation Graphics and a Multi-Diagram Interface
Rochester, NY (February 19, 2013) – EMA Design Automation (ema-eda.com), one of the world’s largest Electronic Design Automation Value Added Resellers (VARs), today announced a new release of its static timing analysis tool, TimingDesigner 9.3, making the customization of diagrams and documentation easier and users more productive. “With a fresh, redesigned user interface and improved controls, TimingDesigner 9.3 is the most intuitive timing analysis tool on the market,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA. “We’ve made several useful additions to diagram and spreadsheet styling, as well as enhancements to the image exporting capabilities.
When these new features are combined with our patented timing algorithms, TimingDesigner becomes the most robust tool on the market for timing critical designs.” Many supporting features have been incorporated into TimingDesigner to make styling and image exporting easier. A WYSIWYG editor has been added so users can quickly take what they see on the screen to create documentation. The screen can be exported as a scalable image file, which is much quicker and easier than taking screen shots of the workspace. A print preview capability has also been added, so users can print directly from the tool. Documentation in version 9.3 is a simple step away from the analysis.
The ability to easily export screen content is only half of the documentation process; version 9.3 also adds many new styling features to the diagram and spreadsheet tools. Users now have multiple options and control mechanisms for defining fonts, colors, fills, line thicknesses, and more. TimingDesigner’s ability to import pre defined diagram styles has been expanded so that diagram styling can now be imported as style groups which can be applied to the target diagram automatically or on an individual basis. These enhancements make it very easy to adhere to defined corporate standards when generating timing diagrams for documentation.
The modern appearance and intuitive commands in version 9.3 compliment TimingDesigner’s popular interactive timing analysis. With the new multi-diagram interface, users can view and edit multiple diagrams and spreadsheets, much like opening multiple tabs in an internet browser. Information can be easily compared, copied, and pasted between these tabs. Also, many functions have been redesigned to follow more modern and expected processes, making this version of TimingDesigner easier to learn and faster to operate for both new and experienced users.
“TimingDesigner is a complete analysis and documentation solution with high accuracy analysis engines and an extensive online timing model library, making it an excellent value and differentiating it from the competition,” added Marcano.
