Agile Software Corporation recently received important industry acclaim and a significant vote of confidence – from customers and industry experts – as the company announced that its Agile Anywhere collaborative supply chain management software had been selected as a winner of two prestigious awards. Agile was awarded a "2000 Crossroads A-List Award" and earned its third consecutive spot atop the list of Start magazine's "Hottest Companies Award" winners. "These awards are indicative of our ability to offer a software solution that keeps pace with major shifts in the e-commerce continuum", said Carol Schrader, Worldwide Vice President of Marketing for Agile. "Along with a trend toward outsourced manufacturing, there is a new business model in which manufacturers must rely on multiple supply chain members. Agile Anywhere is designed to be flexible and scalable to automate product content management and enable all necessary parties to collaborate in real-time over the Internet." Agile's customers, including Agilent Technologies, Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and more than 500 others, contributed to the 2000 Crossroads A-List Award for "Excellence in Execution". Based on customer references, Agile specifically was noted for "reducing time to market" by enabling "customers [to] establish one source of accurate product content information for the supply chain". Agile also topped the list - for the third consecutive year – of Start magazine's Hottest Companies Awards for 2000, which recognised Agile for its phenomenal growth.
