FREEBORDERS ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF QUAD PLM

Innovative Product Will Provide Easier, Faster, More Efficient PLM Solutions

May 1, 2007, San Francisco, CA – Freeborders PLM, a leading provider of PLM and technology solutions to the retail and apparel industries, today announced the release of Quad PLM, a web-based collaborative development solution. Quad and Quad PLM Express, designed for smaller companies, will be available early in the Third Quarter, this year.

“Freeborders Quad takes PLM to the next level,” says Debbie Baldini, Managing Director of Freeborders Retail Practice. “This exciting new software will enable our customers to deliver better on-time performance in a more efficient, easier manner.” As a testament to its superiority, Baldini says, about 75% of Freeborders’ current customers reported that they planned to upgrade to Quad.

The Quad PLM suite offers state-of the art, updated technology, including an easier configuration, multi-language capabilities, and an intuitive user interface. “Quad will shorten the design cycle, reduce the amount of physical samples needed, and bring product managers closer to their trend,” Baldini says. “Its multiple modules allow users to consolidate data and easily communicate with one another.”

Comprised of 11 modules, the Quad PLM suite offers pioneering solutions on planning, product design, pre-production, raw material management, sourcing and production and foundation. “It’s no coincidence that this product is named ‘Quad,’” says Baldini. “In addition to being the evolutionary -- and revolutionary -- fourth generation of the Freeborders PLM solution, Quad is the accessible meeting place for everyone involved in the PLM lifecycle.”

Quad PLM Express, which was also introduced today, offers a low barrier entry for small-to-medium-sized enterprises to springboard into the marketplace. The solution features a low-cost investment, quick implementation, and most importantly, the ability to grow with the company as the business grows.

“Freeborders is committed to providing our customers with the most efficient, ground breaking technology at competitive pricing,” Baldini says, “and we’re proud to introduce Quad as part of that commitment.”

Freeborders will be demonstrating Quad PLM at their booth (# 1200) at the Material World Show, May 8-10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Visitors are welcome anytime, but appointments are encouraged. Please contact Robert D. Bangser, Senior Director of Business Development, at 203-803-1379 to schedule an appointment.
