Business Wire, July 11, 2007

QUEBEC -- Elmo Solutions, the leader in CAD-ERP data integration, announced Agni Link (http://elmosolutions.com/385.html?ref=070711), its live, bidirectional CAD-ERP data integration system, is now compatible with Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) 5.0.

Agni Link is a companion to SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD that provides real-time, bidirectional integration with Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision). Agni Link is the only application of its kind that offers a unique and reliable way to unify SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD and Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) databases. Every time a CAD document is saved, the user may edit data shared between CAD and Microsoft Dynamics/NAV using possible values obtained "live" from Microsoft Dynamics/NAV. Upon end-user confirmation, Bill of Materials data is updated in both the CAD document and the Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) database, thus ensuring perfect synchronization of both data sets and completely eliminating redundant data entry. Agni Link can process and synchronize a wide range of Bill of Materials data from either environment, including:

* CAD Part, Component and Assembly data

* Microsoft Dynamics/NAV Production Bill of Materials (BoMs) data

* Microsoft Dynamics/NAV Routing instructions

Yielding high Return on Investment, Agni Link typically pays for itself in 60-90 days. Elmo Solutions Science Officer, Ricardo Talbot said: "We are very excited about delivering the most advanced and efficient method of sharing SolidWorks, Inventor or AutoCAD and Microsoft Dynamics/NAV product data. We are especially very happy with our customers' response to Elmo's approach to alleviate the shortcomings of existing software in terms of BoM management, and we are thrilled about this new edition of Agni Link."

Agni Link is readily available from Elmo Solutions. It not only addresses the needs of AutoCAD users, but also those of Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) users, who share product data with them throughout the enterprise. Designed with the end-user in mind, the latest release introduced powerful characteristics such as a new copy and paste feature that allows extremely efficient populating of BoM data directly from the CAD environment, without having to go through the ERP application.

Established in 1979, Elmo Solutions is a leader in the CAD-ERP data integration, and also offers a broad range of services related to CAD and ERP data integration.
