best practice solution that provides the foundation for superior

contribution, and productivity. The inaugural joint solution set
accelerates time to value by allowing organizations to drive
product development strategies, leverage enterprise resources, and
align their product portfolio to strategic, marketing, and
financial objectives. PRTM offers industry insight, best practices
and process consulting to leading companies around the world.
Together, Agile and PRTM can enable companies to make rapid,
repeatable improvements in product development cycle times,
resulting in significant cost savings and reduced time to market.

(PPM), Agile's best-in-class PLM solution for optimizing product
development investments, PRTM Inside tightly links best-practice
business processes and program management activities to the common
product record, resulting in accelerated introduction of products.
This ability to implement best-practice processes and the
supporting technology simultaneously means the fastest time to
value for customers. Agile PPM provides closely synchronized
program and product information, maximized resource utilization,

cycles, improved resource utilization, and increased capacity of
their product development engine. "Bringing new products and
services to market is the heart and soul of innovation-driven

seamlessly," said Bryan Stolle, Agile CEO. "This solution sets the
bar for addressing the unique demands of the industries we serve
