DENVER, CO - January 18, 2006 - Federation Software(TM), developers of solutions for the Federated Value Chain(TM), today announced that it has released its Value Chain Connector(TM) (VCC) in support of MatrixOne's(TM) PLM software. MatrixOne(TM) is a leading global provider of collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services(TM) and is headquartered in Westford, Massachusetts.

As a marketplace leader, Federation Software will combine its proven technology, modern federated architecture and commercial off-the-shelf PLM Value Chain Connector(TM) with MatrixOne's(TM) PLM software.

The Value Chain Connector (VCC) for MatrixOne(TM) allows disparate PLM systems to be connected bi-directionally to your MatrixOne(TM) system. The VCC works hand-in-hand with Federation's Independent Platform Gateway(TM) (IPG) to precisely define product data your organization needs to share, and then actively transfers the data to the target systems you designate. IPG continuously and securely transmits updates to the data between the systems.

"PLM systems like MatrixOne(TM) lead to faster, more efficient and affordable development -- and ultimately the optimization of design processes. It seemed natural to pair together our Value Chain Connector with MatrixOne's(TM) revolutionary technology to allow more customers and value chain members the interoperability they require when seeing a product(s) through the lifecycle," said Kirk Hanes, president and CEO of Federation Software.

This latest Value Chain Connector frees up the product data stored in MatrixOne(TM) to be shared with other PLM systems inside and outside of the enterprise. It is a full-featured adapter, supporting reading from and writing to all MatrixOne(TM) versions. To find out more, visit: www.federationsoftware.com or call: 1-888-799-8900.
