Westford, Mass. - November 4, 2003 -MatrixOne,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MONE), a leading provider of
collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM)
solutions for the value chain™, today announced
that Invensys Rail Systems (IRS), a global systems
company and division of Invensys plc, has deployed
Matrix10™ in its Westinghouse Rail Systems (WRSL)
subsidiary. The MatrixOne solutions will enable
WRSL to manage the product lifecycle of its
state-of-the-art railway signaling equipment and
systems. WRSL was recently awarded two contracts
valued at more than £850m (US$1.3 billion) for the
renewal of signaling on the London Underground.
Westinghouse Rail Systems has gone into production
with MatrixOne Engineering Central™ and MatrixOne
Document Central™ within its research and
development organization to improve change control
and configuration management of documents,
allowing WRSL to maintain full audit history and
regulatory compliance. Following a successful
Matrix10™ pilot program, WRSL plans to deploy
MatrixOne solutions more widely throughout the
London Underground project, and beginning in early
2004, document and part management will be rolled
out project by project throughout its engineering
and project delivery departments.
"The installation of any major new IT
infrastructure into a company can be challenging,"
said Charles Riley, Technical Director and board
member of WRSL responsible for the project to
date. "The MatrixOne team has been very
customer-focused during the implementation and has
dealt rapidly with any issues as they have arisen.
We look forward to a continued and positive
relationship as the product rolls out into our
organization and we begin to reap the benefits of
our joint efforts."
A rapid implementation of Team Central within IRS
enables collaboration between three subsidiary
companies on world wide IRS projects reducing
travel time and cost. "We were looking for rapid
and cost effective deployment of virtual team
rooms. The solution met most of our needs straight
from the box. MatrixOne had us up and running
within a few days of the initial request." says
Ceri Gosling, IT Director, Invensys Rail Systems.
