Sunnyvale, CA, September 11, 2006 - The SofTEQ Group, a leading provider of integrated product development solutions for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), has created the Value Added Integrator (VAI) business model to help companies optimize their product development process. The VAI model was developed to assist today's manufacturers in closing the product development gap associated with increased outsourcing and continuously changing technology.

"The effects of increased business competition, technological complexity, and software proliferation often combine to result in a product development gap between engineering and manufacturing," stated Dave Orejel, President and CEO of the SofTEQ Group. "To help bridge this gap, SofTEQ has created the VAI model, which combines software, application integration and consulting services to provide companies with the product development infrastructure they need to compete in today's global markets."

SofTEQ Group is the Northern California sales, training and support partner for Omnify Software of Andover, MA, a provider of product lifecycle and change management solutions for OEMs. Most recently, Fabric7 Systems, a Silicon Valley developer of enterprise servers for data centers, worked with SofTEQ to implement the Omnify PLM solution. SofTEQ's technical expertise with the Omnify product helped Fabric7 to integrate its engineering design data into the corporate business flow to accelerate their product development processes.

"As an industry-leading enterprise server company, we needed a system to instill a discipline for a single point of entry for engineering releases and product builds across both our internal and external sites," said Wayne Firsty, Fabric7's Vice President of Manufacturing Operations. Fabric7 was able to take advantage of SofTEQ Group's installation and process expertise with Omnify's engineering integration capabilities to ensure the supply chain had access to accurate product information and help accelerate New Product Introduction (NPI).

"Leveraging SofTEQ Group's professional services to implement the Omnify solution and integrate our engineering and business data, has enabled us to develop and deliver more products in a timely fashion," added Firsty.

Fabric7 has been utilizing Omnify Software for more than a year with support provided by the SofTEQ Group. Omnify has supplied Fabric7 with an affordable solution that delivers all of the Bill of Material (BOM), engineering change and document management features they require for their complex hardware design along with easy and secure access for internal and external teams. The SofTEQ Group was able to help accelerate Fabric7's NPI time by incorporating standardized change management practices directly within the Omnify application.

"Helping emerging companies like Fabric7 innovate and develop products faster than their competition through our partnership with Omnify Software is our focus," continued Orejel. "We deliver an integrated and flexible solution that is scalable to support our customers at every stage of their growth."
