Aberdeen Group and MatrixOne CPG Customer to Discuss Best Practices for Enhancing and Streamlining Product Development EffortsWESTFORD, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Aug. 30, 2004— MatrixOne, Inc. (NASDAQ: MONE), a leading provider of collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions for the value chain(TM), is sponsoring a free Aberdeen Group online conference on success strategies for consumer product development. The event will feature The Hayes Company, Inc., the global leader of decorative lawn and garden products, which is utilizing the MatrixOne PLM platform to efficiently collaborate with external design and manufacturing partners throughout the product design cycle, resulting in reduced costs, improved quality and faster time-to-market.According to Aberdeen Group's recent Product Development in Consumer Industries Benchmark Study, fewer than 25 percent of survey respondents were "more than satisfied" with their product development ability. However, increasing competitive threats and evolving consumer demands are putting constant pressure to translate drawing board ideas into bottom-line revenue. "With the global economy on the mend, consumer companies are looking to product innovation and development to fuel the recovery," said Tim Minahan, Aberdeen's senior vice president of supply chain research and author of the report. "Advantage has gone to forward-thinking firms like The Hayes Company that have adopted PLM solutions, such as MatrixOne, to facilitate collaboration and data exchange and standardize product development procedures and controls." MatrixOne's PLM solutions enable consumer product companies to build flexible and scalable foundations for quickly delivering innovation to the marketplace, while aligning products with market requirements and maintaining strong profit margins. "MatrixOne's platform and business process applications have transformed the way we work with our critical business partners throughout the development process," said Glen Waisner, president of The Hayes Company. "By providing the ability to collaborate on product design with our partner and supplier network in real-time over the Internet, The Hayes Company has been afforded a significant competitive advantage while concurrently reducing costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually."
