FREMONT, Calif.—April 25, 2006—Accept Software™ Corporation, a leading provider of product planning and delivery solutions, today announced that it has won the award for Excellence in Product Management Tools sponsored by the Association of International Product Marketing and Management (AIPMM).  Accept 360° ™, the first product planning application that integrates business analytics with all variables related to product planning and delivery, was cited for its comprehensive scope, and for mapping views of the product development process to a product’s probability of commercial success.

“Against outstanding competition, Accept 360° was differentiated by its ability to show the financial impact of incorporating customer requirements and new features,” said Therese Padilla, President of AIPMM.  Padilla added that Accept 360° is well adapted for strategic alignment – the ability to align product functionality, feature sets, customer requirements, market data, development schedules, and pricing considerations with a company’s strategic objectives.

Entrants in the annual competition, which drew leading firms in enterprise requirements management, included Telelogic, MatrixOne, and Ryma Technology Solutions.

“The AIPMM award validates our vision to redefine strategies for managing product development through every phase and every contingency,” said James Davies, CEO of Accept Software. “This accolade provides additional proof that Accept 360° is not only a leading solution for correlating all the variables in product planning and delivery, but is also a product acknowledged for excellence by our peers.”

Accept 360° enables organizations to centrally manage complex product portfolios, roadmaps and requirements, and allows users to map all planning issues, in real time, that accurately reflect an organization’s strategic plans and objectives.  The product is deployed across various markets by companies respected for excellence in product development.  Version 4 of Accept 360° was released in March, 2006.  For more information, contact sales@accept360.com.
