AN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Agile Software Corporation (Nasdaq: AGIL - news), a provider of product
content management solutions for e-supply chains, today announced that Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW - news) has
certified Agile Anywhere(TM) as 100% Pure Java(TM) compliant. This means Agile Anywhere is the first and only 100%
Pure Java application designed for managing product content for e-supply chain partners.
''Certification and compatibility are significant issues because an application designed to enable collaboration in a supplier
network is effective only if it communicates with all partners in the network,'' said Bryan D. Stolle, CEO of Agile Software.
''Today's e-supply chain typically involves a mix of very large, very small and mid-size companies, often located in different
countries and running different systems. An important way to achieve the up/down scalability the supply chain demands is
through adherence to broadly accepted industry standards such as Java and XML. By leveraging the capabilities of Agile
Anywhere and electronically synchronizing their efforts, supply chain partners can achieve huge savings in time and money,
especially during the critical process of new product introduction where the focus is on getting to market ahead of the
competition.''
In 1997, Agile jWorkplace received 100% Pure Java certification, and the new Agile Anywhere certification maintains this high
level of achievement. The Agile Anywhere product suite is web-centric, scalable, standards-based and secure. It allows
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), contract manufacturers, suppliers and others across the supplier network to
leverage the power and pervasiveness of the Internet for rapid response to changing supply-side and demand-side conditions
affecting product content. Java certification means that Agile Anywhere can run on any UNIX or Wintel platform that meets
Java certification criteria. The application is also certified as 100% compatible with Windows (95, 98 and NT) and MAC OS.
