Business Wire, May 11, 2007

QUEBEC -- Elmo Solutions (http://ElmoSolutions.com?ref=070511), the leader in ERP-CAD data integration, announces the immediate availability of Agni Link (http://elmosolutions.com/385.html?ref=070511), a live, bidirectional ERP-CAD connector for SolidWorks and Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains).

Agni Link is a SolidWorks add-in that provides real-time, bidirectional integration with Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains). Agni Link is the only application of its kind that offers a unique and reliable way to unify SolidWorks and Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains) databases. Every time a SolidWorks document is saved, the user may edit data shared between SolidWorks and Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains) using possible values obtained "live" from Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains). Upon end-user confirmation, data is updated in both the SolidWorks document and the Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains) 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 data from either environment, including:

* SolidWorks Part, Component and Assembly data

* Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains) Bills Of Materials

* Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains) 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 pleased - and very proud - to be able to deliver the most advanced and efficient method of sharing SolidWorks and Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains) product data. Our customer's preliminary response so far has been nothing short of spectacular, and we are very excited about this new edition of Agni Link. We expect similar response on the upcoming release of Agni Link for Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains), which will handle Bill of Materials data with or without Manufacturing Modules."

Agni Link is readily available from Elmo Solutions. Agni Link not only addresses the needs of SolidWorks users, but also those of Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains) users, who share product data with them throughout the enterprise.
