WILMINGTON, MA. - February, 14, 2005 - Omnify Software, a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software for mid-market electronic, medical, mechanical, and defense OEMs, today announced its membership in the Cadence Design Systems, Inc. Connections® program. Omnify's PLM product is recognized as a best-of-class solution that openly integrates with OrCAD technology from Cadence.

Omnify offers a seamless, bi-directional interface between its Omnify PLM system and OrCAD Capture® and OrCAD Capture® CIS products. Joint customers can take advantage of the Omnify PLM solution to help simplify their component data and library management and enhance their personal productivity. The integrated solution also eliminates the need for engineering departments to manage separate databases from other groups in an organization.

"The Omnify/OrCAD® interface provides consistency, reduces design and documentation time, and allows our design personnel to continue working in the environment they are proficient in," stated Bridget Koloseus of Optical Air Data Systems, a joint Omnify Software and OrCAD customer.
