Engineous Software Joins Siemens UGS PLM Software Partner Program

Business Wire, Sept 18, 2007

CARY, N.C. -- Engineous Software, provider of award-winning integration, automation and design optimization software and related services, announced today its partnership with UGS PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D), and a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services. Engineous joins the UGS PLM Software Partner Program at the Foundation level and will develop, market and sell process integration and automation technologies that seamlessly operate with the UGS Teamcenter[TM] PLM suite and the UGS NX[TM] digital product development software solution.

"This partnership is a great fit for Engineous and our customers," says Janet C. Wylie, President and CEO of Engineous. "Our iSIGHT product line has been successfully used by hundreds of customers to integrate commercial and internal product development software programs. A tighter integration with the NX product suite will help to make those integration efforts easier than ever before. Additionally, our FIPER enterprise solution is being used by a growing number of companies to generate huge volumes of data as they search for optimal designs. These customers are asking us to provide a way to manage this voluminous simulation data in an automated fashion. The integration of FIPER with Teamcenter will solve this problem for our customers and improve their time to market."

"As the market leader in Process Integration and Design Optimization, Engineous is a welcome addition to the UGS PLM Software Partner Program," says Chuck Grindstaff, executive vice president, PLM Products, UGS PLM Software. By integrating the complementary aspects of our products, our common customers will have a solution that is well suited to manage simulation programs in a PLM environment. No other commercial products can currently handle the unique requirements of automating and managing simulation programs and their associated data."

The plans for the integration of the FIPER infrastructure with Teamcenter[R] will provide a unique market solution in the area of Simulation Process Management (SPM). Additionally, Engineous has already built an NX[R] adapter for Engineous' iSIGHT-FD product that will simplify integration of NX models with other simulation models used regularly by common customers.
