Agile 9.2 Selected by Extreme Networks to Manage Global Product Development

Upgrade to Newest Version of Agile PLM for Enhanced Overall Functionality and Environmental Compliance Solution

San Jose, CA—April 17, 2007 - Agile Software Corporation (Nasdaq: AGIL), a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Extreme Networks, Inc. has implemented the Agile 9.2 PLM solution. Extreme Networks® utilizes Agile’s PLM solution to manage the product development process across its global operations, and upgraded to Agile 9.2 to leverage the solution’s enhanced overall functionality and expanded version of the Agile Product Governance & Compliance application.

“With RoHS and other pending global environmental legislation affecting the way we produce and sell solutions, Extreme Networks needed a system that would allow us to identify the regulatory level of compliance required from the top level assembly all the way through to the component level,” said Jeff Hudgens, Manager, Product Data Management, Extreme Networks. “There is a vast amount of data that we needed to manage, track, search, report and control. Based on our positive experience using the Agile Product Collaboration application, we saw Agile as a natural partner to help manage this information and meet our business criteria.”

Extreme Networks designs, builds, and installs Ethernet infrastructure solutions that solve the toughest business communications challenges for enterprises and service providers who demand high performance, converged networks that support voice, video and data, over a wired and wireless infrastructure. Extreme Networks has delivered more than 15 million Ethernet ports to a wide range of customers, from corporate enterprises to large universities and K-12 school districts to federal and local governments, worldwide, and has established a presence in more than 50 countries.

Agile Product Governance & Compliance will enable Extreme Networks to more tightly control product lifecycle processes for regulatory compliance by optimizing collaboration and communication across the entire supply chain – from design to new product introduction to ramp to volume and end-of-life.

“When it comes to compliance regulations – there is no room for guesswork. Agile tracks virtually every aspect of the product lifecycle, to help create a compliant, efficient and auditable product creation process,” said Jay Fulcher, Agile CEO and president. “Agile Product Governance & Compliance enables organizations such as Extreme Networks to manage product and program compliance against standards and regulatory requirements, helping to ensure effective compliance processes throughout the enterprise’s operations.”
