Tensoft Extends Industry Leadership With Release of FSM 2009

SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - October 2, 2008) - GSA SUPPLIERS EXPO & CONFERENCE -- Tensoft, a leading ERP and supply chain solution provider for the semiconductor industry, announced today the release of Tensoft Fabless Semiconductor Management (FSM) 2009, the ninth major release of its flagship end-to-end ERP and supply chain product suite. This new version provides significant advances in workflow, document management, planning and operations functionality, as well as enhancements for increased productivity and ease-of-use. Designed to support both fabless and traditional semiconductor manufacturing operations, FSM 2009 promises to extend and cement Tensoft's leadership position in semiconductor supply chain and financial management.

In making the announcement, Tensoft CEO Bob Scarborough outlined the significance of this new release. "In FSM 2009 we have built on our vision to deliver fully integrated solutions for semiconductor companies. Our solution extends across the enterprise -- for power users and casual information users -- promoting information velocity, usability, and the enterprise standard of a single version of information truth."

Tensoft FSM 2009 enhancements were driven by directions the company observed in the marketplace as well as insightful real-world input from its active FSM User Group. The solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft SharePoint, is available through an equity or subscription-based ownership model, and can be deployed either on-premise or on-demand in Tensoft's SAS 70-compliant environment.

     Advanced workflow -- FSM 2009 leverages Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
     enabling workflow not only in FSM, but across the entire ERP stack --
     facilitating workflow integration with financial systems, portals,
     e-mail clients, and productivity tools.  FSM's platform-enabled
     workflow supports information velocity across the extended enterprise,
     streamlining business process automation and required approvals.

     Planning and operations advancements expand FSM's functionality for
     capacity constraints and production plan management. Capacity can now
     be defined by product, by process and by customer-defined variable --
     enabling refined capacity definition based on appropriate definition,
     including testers, test platform, load board, and time. Other planning
     enhancements extend planner control over the execution plan and
     expanded future value reporting.

     Document and Product Management -- FSM 2009 extends its world-class
     genealogy and production attribute management by adding additional
     mass change functionality, integrated document management, and
     production history document management. Document revision history
     matches product revision history -- including updated build
     instructions for production as well as additional insight for
     production engineering.

     Increased productivity is realized through extended ease-of-use
     updates, an integrated drag-and-drop report builder, streamlined
     input screens, and enhanced security functionality, making FSM 2009
     Tensoft's most effective and efficient release for customer deployment
     and operation.
