SAN JOSE, CA, January 17, 2006  — Agile Software Corporation (Nasdaq: AGIL), the leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Eksigent Technologies, a pioneer in microfluidic systems that automate and accelerate a number of life science applications, has deployed Agile Advantage 2005 as its corporate PLM solution. Anticipating a need for a state-of-the-art PLM system as it transitions from a primary focus on research to the development and delivery of innovative products, Eksigent chose Agile Advantage 2005 to meet the company’s current and future needs.

“We have been concentrating on research and proof-of-concept demonstrations for the past three years, but now we are becoming a full-fledged manufacturer of medical devices, requiring us to meet FDA and ISO requirements for quality and regulatory reporting,” says Richard Rush, head of medical device business development activity at Eksigent. “We have determined that the right PLM solution implemented ahead of the process is critical as we build up our quality systems.”

Founded 5 years ago, Eksigent has grown rapidly. Its miniature electrokinetic EKpumps™ move liquids at controlled rates at high accuracy with no moving parts. Such pumps are intended for applications where drugs must be delivered at very closely controlled dosage rates while patients are on their feet. “We didn’t have a product record management problem yet,” Rush says. “But we knew if we didn’t do something proactively, the effects could really become a problem in the future when we didn’t have the time to deal with them. To get products manufactured, and to get them through the quality and regulatory approval processes, we needed a system we could count on. When we polled colleagues in other companies, Agile was the clear choice and the proven leader in the life sciences industry.”

Eksigent worked with GoEngineer, Inc., an Agile Authorized Value Added Reseller and certified implementation partner, to install Agile Advantage. The system was operational very quickly. Rush says, “We were loading data into the system in a matter of days. GoEngineer added tremendous value by setting us up with templates, workflows, and libraries of components to get us started in a best-practices mode.” Rush continues, explaining, “It was important to Eksigent to invest in a PLM system that could be easily implemented and offers immediate value, but could also scale with us as we grow. We’ve invested several years of research in our company. Our goal is to make that research pay off, enabling us to bring high-quality, innovative products to market. Agile Advantage is integral to that effort.”

“For early-stage companies like Eksigent, realizing quick value from their software investment is critical. So, too, is starting off right by leveraging a best-practices approach,” says Greg Katai, general manager of GoEngineer, Incorporated’s PLM Business Unit. “We’re pleased that our proven implementation methodologies and expert staff have enabled Eksigent to realize quick value from their purchase of Agile Advantage.”

“By using Agile Advantage to manage product record information and FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, Eksigent is optimizing the quality management, regulatory compliance, and product realization processes of its early-stage research investments,” said Joe Hage, general manager, Agile Small Business Solutions. “Equally important, as Eksigent grows, Agile will continue to provide them a world class PLM solution with the reliability, flexibility, and scalability they’ll need. We are delighted to add Eksigent to our growing list of life sciences customers.”
