Orlando, FL - April 29, 2002 - At the CIMdata PLM 2002 Conference, MatrixOne,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MONE), and Cimmetry Systems Inc. today announced a new OEM
agreement whereby MatrixOne will provide Cimmetry's Visualization &
Collaboration capabilities to its customers through its core collaboration
platform, eMatrix. MatrixOne, the leading provider of product collaboration
solutions for the value chain, will offer AutoVue from Cimmetry, the leader in
visualization and collaboration solutions for the A/E/C, Engineering,
Manufacturing, and Electronics markets, as a means of providing customers and
their supply chains access to Web-based, real-time, visual collaboration early
in the design phase to improve engineering products and processes.
"Our thin-client technology stands alone on the market as the only
full-featured, server-based visualization and collaboration solution for native
2D and 3D product data," said Brian Strasser, business development manager at
Cimmetry. "By integrating the AutoVue technology with the eMatrix platform,
MatrixOne has provided users with an unprecedented level of access to their
data, while retaining all the benefits of the thin-client platform."
"Visualization of product intent is an added value to any company collaborating
internally, or across the value chain, particularly in the early innovation
phase of the product lifecycle," said Mark Bierschied, director, integrated
e-Business solutions at MatrixOne. "MatrixOne has long provided a complete
portfolio of choices for visualization over the past years. By partnering with
Cimmetry, we are providing our customers with a 100% thin-client focused
solution that is tightly integrated with our Value Chain Portfolio applications.
This will securely allow better visual collaboration across the supply chain,
greatly enhancing our customers' ability to bring the right products to market
in the quickest manner possible."
Howard Lin, director of corporate development at E2open, the leading global
collaboration network for the electronics industry using MatrixOne and Cimmetry
solutions, said: "MatrixOne's Team Central and Cimmetry's AutoVue are integral
components in E2open's collaboration services. The relationship announced today
between both companies is extremely positive for the PLM industry, as customers
will be getting the visualization component as an integral part of their total
PLM solution."
In a published article, Dee Sandford, PDM manager at Autoliv, a $4 billion
air-bag and seat belt manufacturer, and a MatrixOne customer using AutoVue,
said: "AutoVue is clearly a critical part of our PDM solution. It is being used
all across our company and I have recommended it as a valuable tool for our
suppliers as well. We have been very impressed with the results."
MatrixOne delivers AutoVue as the visualization solution for eMatrix and the
Value Chain Portfolio of applications including MatrixOne Supplier Central,
MatrixOne Engineering Central, MatrixOne DocuManagement Central, and MatrixOne
Team Central. The thin-client architecture with no client-side install and
