WASHINGTON - TelAve -- Amida Technology Solutions, Inc., a DC-based company focused on information security and data management, today announced that EDA-industry icon Joe Costello joined the company as a member of the Board of Directors. Costello brings over thirty years of experience leading software development efforts in a broad range of companies.

From 1987 through 1998, Joe Costello led Cadence Design Systems to be the number one company in the Electronic Design Automation market.
