Dot Hill Deploys Agile Product Governance and Compliance for RoHS
Compliance Storage Networking Leader Looks to Reduce Costs in
Complying with EU Environmental Regulations with Agile Solution SAN
JOSE, Calif., June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Agile Software
Corporation (NASDAQ:AGIL), a leading provider of product lifecycle
management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Dot Hill Systems
Corp., a leader in the innovative design and delivery of storage
networking solutions, has deployed Agile Product Governance &
Compliance (PG&C) across its enterprise to increase the
efficiency and ease of ensuring compliance with the European Union
(EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. An Agile
Product Collaboration customer since 1996, Dot Hill adopted Agile
PG&C to manage product and program compliance against standards
and regulatory requirements, including the new EU environmental
directives, RoHS and WEEE. RoHS, which goes into effect on July 1,
2006, requires companies that sell products to EU customers
maintain low levels of hazardous substances such as lead or cadmium
in their products. This means companies like Dot Hill must keep
meticulous records on the levels of hazardous substances in their
products and the underlying components through the entire product
lifecycle. "Dot Hill has experienced tremendous success over the
past nine years using the Agile Product Collaboration tool, and
deploying Agile PG&C was a natural extension of this success,"
said Ken Strasser, director of operations, Dot Hill. "The Agile
PG&C module provides us with a very cost effective way to build
a comprehensive compliance tracking program to support our
corporate RoHS initiatives." Agile PG&C contains a "Design for
Environment" capability, which combines the enterprise product
record with material and regulatory attributes -- enabling
designers to build products that meet environmental regulatory
requirements. With Agile PG&C's robust configurability,
customers can benefit from a highly specialized compliance tracking
system that meets the demands of their particular products and
specific regulations. "As a leader in the global storage market,
implementing RoHS worldwide is a critical corporate initiative for
us," stated Mike Heumann, vice president of marketing, Dot Hill.
"We believe that the capabilities provided by Agile PG&C will
be a key differentiator for us in the world market." Agile PG&C
provides customers with the ability to manage process risks that
commonly result in costly business interruptions such as product
returns, recalls, FDA citation, or even a disastrous business
shutdown. Agile PG&C enables compliance professionals to
transform their product governance and compliance activities from
reactive, highly manual systems, into repeatable/auditable
processes that reduce the risk of business interruption. "RoHS
compliance is more than a nice environmental gesture. Companies who
plan to successfully compete on a global basis recognize the need
to embrace these environmental regulations," said Agile CEO Bryan
Stolle. "We are very happy to help Dot Hill continue its leadership
in the area of environmental compliance through the capabilities
provided by the Agile PC&G product." About Dot Hill Systems
