WILMINGTON, MA. - July 12, 2005 - Omnify Software, a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software for mid-market electronic, medical, mechanical, and defense OEMs, today announced that Start Magazine, The Voice of The Manufacturing Executive, has recognized Omnify Software with a 2005 Hottest Companies of the Year Award for its novel PLM solution and continued acquisition of satisfied customers.

"The distinction for the Hottest Companies Award is only granted to software and hardware vendors that have developed truly innovative applications for the manufacturing industry," said Editorial Director Peggy Smedley. "We are excited to award Omnify for its technological accomplishments in providing a PLM solution for small to midsize manufacturers and strong commitment to customer satisfaction."

Omnify has been distinguished with the 2005 Hottest Companies Awards because it fits a need in the market for more advanced and cost efficient solutions that are able to handle the needs of small and mid market OEMs. As the product development process becomes more distributed, more complex, and driven by an increasing need to reduce costs and speed time to market, organizations demand a product lifecycle management system that can ease communication and collaboration within the company and with external suppliers and partners. Omnify PLM enhances product development for mid-sized manufacturers throughout their entire extended enterprise by providing a single location for managing product data. The Web-architected product offers out-of-the-box, bi-directional integration with existing design and business systems enabling rapid implementation without disrupting the customer's existing work environments.

"We are excited to be recognized by such a well-respected publication in the industry," said Chuck Cimalore, CTO of Omnify Software. "We appreciate the recognition for our commitment to providing the most advanced PLM technology and dedication to the success of our customers."
