Sierra Atlantic and Agile Announce Seamless Integration of SCMnet(TM) on SAP NetWeaver(R)

Market Wire, December, 2005

Agile Software Corporation (NASDAQ: AGIL), a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, today announced that one of its systems integration and complementary solutions partners, Sierra Atlantic, has achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver®" certification for the latest version of its Supply Chain Management Network application, SCMnet(TM) version 4.2. SCMnet, certified for integration capabilities with the mySAP(TM) ERP solution via the CA-PLM integration scenario, integrates mySAP ERP with the latest version of Agile's PLM solution, Agile 9. SCMnet is now available for the SAP NetWeaver open integration and application platform to better serve the needs of customers using solutions from Agile and SAP. The "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" certification validates the seamless integration of SCMnet with SAP NetWeaver.

"Agile customers using SAP NetWeaver receive the benefits of a long-standing partnership between Agile and Sierra Atlantic," said Ray Hein, Vice President of Product Strategy at Agile. "Using SCMnet, companies can seamlessly integrate with mySAP ERP and be assured that they are meeting their corporate IT goals using 'Powered by SAP NetWeaver' certified and compliant integration."

"The achievement of 'Powered by SAP NetWeaver' certification reaffirms Sierra Atlantic's commitment to technical standards of excellence, and proves the value we bring to customers using solutions from Agile and SAP," said Marc Hebert, EVP of Sierra Atlantic. "Together with Agile, we offer solutions that enable these companies to accelerate time to market and reduce integration costs through the power of supported, out-of-the-box integration."

As part of the certification process, Sierra Atlantic enhanced SCMnet to take advantage of the powerful application and portal servers provided by SAP NetWeaver. SCMnet has achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" certification by ensuring that the product deploys on the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS) as a J2EE-compliant application and is integrated with the SAP NetWeaver Portal as a business package.

SCMnet's achievements of "SAP Certified Integration" (achieved earlier in 2005) and "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" certification mean that customers running SAP NetWeaver have a reliable integration solution that:

--  Uses SAP-recommended integration standards and technology
--  Runs on a powerful and robust application server, taking full
    advantage of its high performance, scalability and reliability
--  Offers role-based monitoring and configuration access over the unified
    enterprise portal
