Hi Roberto, The software Thomson is using is depend on the department. For Communication department (i.e. Cordless, Answerer & Cordler phone, Audio product) is using PCAD since Ver 4. Now they are using Version 8.5. For TV sector, they are using another software but I had already forgotten what is that.
