SDRC and i2 Form Alliance for Collaborative Solutions

Marketing alliance drives value into the supply chain by offering SDRC's collaborative product management solutions and i2 Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) suite

ORLANDO, FL-May 30, 2001-SDRC (Nasdaq: SDRC) today announced at its Collaborative Product Management Symposium that it has formed a co-marketing alliance with i2 Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of supply chain and marketplace solutions. The agreement positions the two companies' software offerings as a complementary collaborative product management solution. SDRC's new TeamCenter^™ products, in concert with the i2 Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) suite, will provide an industry-leading web-centric environment that links product development and strategic sourcing, enabling companies to drive down their cost of product development, while accelerating their ability to deliver both build-to-order and engineer-to-order products.

The complementary solutions are focused at delivering real business value to all participants in a program's value chain. The cost reductions for product development, sourcing, manufacturing and support services, along with faster time-to-market, are significant business benefits achieved by enabling real time collaboration to occur between supply chain and design chain partners.

This relationship will provide joint customers with the ability to strategically source, collaboratively design, perform web-based negotiation, and automate the request for quotation (RFQ) management process. The solutions are targeted to link all value chain members by providing web browser access to a single source product view that includes preferred parts and supplier information, as well as product-centric information, such as product structure and standards for process, production and service.

"First generation e-Business platforms focused on a general-ledger centric set of technology, and provided some cost benefits," said Bill Carrelli, vice president, market and business development, SDRC. "Second generation solutions focus on a product centric suite of technologies, addressing issues of sourcing initiatives and enabling supply chains to become a company's strategic weapon in the competitive marketplace. Companies today are looking for solutions to go beyond the 'cost only' focus of those first generation systems, to enable innovation to occur at all stages of development, not just after the design is finished. SDRC and i2 will offer solutions that encourage real time interaction up and down a company's supply and design chain. This is the key for delivering innovative products."

"Teaming with SDRC will provide our joint customers solutions that link product development with strategic sourcing," said Dave Horne, executive vice president and general manager, Supplier Relationship Management business, i2. "We are pleased to offer manufacturers comprehensive collaboration solutions that will bridge product communications between design and manufacturing."

"SDRC is continuing to aggressively expand its web-centric, collaborative business solutions," said Bill Weyand, chairman and CEO, SDRC. "This alliance with i2 will now enable our two companies to bring to market a platform for global product development, further demonstrating SDRC's commitment to providing a complete suite of tools and services for collaborative product management to manufacturers. Through this relationship with i2, we will continue to focus on generating results for our customers."
