WILMINGTON, MA. - July 28, 2003 - Omnify Software, a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software for mid-market electronic, medical, and mechanical OEMs, today announced that Klein Associates, Inc, a leading manufacturer of side scan sonar, sub-bottom profilers and related instruments and accessories for undersea search and survey, has deployed Omnify PLM software to increase efficiencies in the product development lifecycle, including real-time updating of information, faster bill of material requests and seamless integration with the existing ERP system, eliminating the need for manual entry of information.

Founded in 1968, Klein Associates, Inc has consistently led its industry in the development of advanced sonar equipment and its technologies have been used in a number of underwater search missions, including the Titanic, the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, and more recently as a part of homeland defense initiatives. With a reputation for developing the highest level of sonar systems already secure, Klein understood it could advance its product offerings even further and significantly reduce time to market by deploying a product lifecycle management application. Klein began a search for a PLM solution that would enable greater visibility into the entire development cycle, from idea and request for materials, to engineering and manufacturing. The solution would replace Klein's own solution that relied heavily on Excel spreadsheets, e-mail and manual requests, resulting in a cumbersome process for developing and sharing engineering data within Klein. In its search, Klein narrowed its choice to two solutions, Omnify PLM and a competitive solution from Agile.

"We chose to deploy Omnify PLM because their team was entirely committed to helping us evolve as a company by establishing visibility into our entire product development cycle," said Dennis Lowell, program manager at Klein Associates, Inc. "The application met all of our requirements for functionality, cost and ease-of-use. The differentiator for Klein was the Omnify team's commitment to client service."

The Web-architected application enabled seamless, bi-directional integration with Klein Associates' legacy ERP system, ensuring automatic entry and extraction of information, freeing Klein employees to focus on product innovation and manufacturing rather than the manual entry of product release information. In addition, Omnify now ensures that everyone in the company automatically has access to the specifications included in the latest product version. The company is able to produce more products, meet customer demands more efficiently, reduce work and product redundancies and focus on continuing innovation as a result of the Omnify PLM deployment.

"Leading companies like Klein Associates, Inc are choosing Omnify PLM because our solution is easy to implement and ensures greater visibility across the development lifecycle," stated Chuck Cimalore, Chief Technology Officer at Omnify Software. "Our Web services-based application makes integration with existing databases simple, ensuring updates entered into Omnify are recorded across the design process. This was a particularly important aspect of the Klein deployment as the company needed to be able to link to a legacy ERP database to truly enable real-time collaboration in product development."
