WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Mentor Graphics
Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that its Valor®
Production Plan software has been certified by SAP as powered by
the SAP® NetWeaver® technology platform. The integration of the

The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has

between SAP ERP 6.0 and Valor Production Plan. The SAP
certification helps Mentor customers to quickly and easily
integrate Valor Production Plan software into SAP solutions. This
benefits customers by improving the interoperability of the Valor
Production Plan tool with SAP applications and with the large
ecosystem of solutions that run on SAP NetWeaver. Choosing an
