- October 11, 2004 – Agile
Software Corporation (Nasdaq: AGIL), a leading
provider of product lifecycle management (PLM)
solutions, today announced Agile On Demand TM PLM
to offer customers more flexible deployment
choices for Agile Advantage, Agile’s PLM solution
for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Agile
Advantage On Demand PLM is offered through user
subscriptions and capacity can be adjusted
depending on the on-going needs of the customer.
The only IT infrastructure required is a desktop
browser and access to the Internet.
“Agile has a long history of serving companies
in the small and midsize ranges. Agile recognizes
that IT resources are scarce and different
licensing options are needed for these companies.
They continue to meet the needs of these smaller
organizations by offering their PLM solutions with
On Demand PLM licensing.” said Peter Bilello,
senior consultant, CIMData. "Agile's On Demand PLM
licensing will allow companies to invest in the
Agile PLM solution with minimal upfront costs and
have a high degree of confidence that their
solution will scale with them as their business
needs change."
In addition to the Agile On Demand PLM
solution, Agile offers the most flexible licensing
models in the industry with different options to
deploy Agile Advantage in the method that most
fits their business needs. Customers can
optionally set up Agile Advantage within their IT
infrastructure via traditional perpetual licensing
or through term licensing, which enables customers
to purchase usage of the product over a three-year
period.
“Agile is committed to meet the needs of our
customers, not just in terms of product
capabilities but also how they want to buy and
deploy our PLM software solutions,” said Bryan
Stolle, Agile CEO. “SME customers in particular
are sensitive to overall IT costs and want choices
and flexibility in licensing and deployment. At
the same time, it is their intellectual property
we are talking about, and security and ready
access to their IP is critical. We have been
helping customers manage their IP across their
extended supply chain for years. As a result, we
have built the Agile Advantage On Demand PLM
solution with a unique architecture to segregate
and protect the intellectual property of our On
Demand customers . As a public company with global
operations, a strong balance sheet, and a long
history of helping companies securely share and
manage sensitive information, Agile is a trusted
partner who offers the level of confidence that
companies demand in a high quality, cost-effective
PLM solution.”
