MILFORD, OH; MARCH 17, 2003 --- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (SEC) has selected ITI TranscenData's DEXcenter (Data Exchange Center) for integrating the company's network of suppliers and departments. Following a successful pilot at its Visual Display and Printer divisions, Samsung will extend additional DEXcenters throughout all divisions. Complete deployment, scheduled for early 2003, will provide more than 5000 users access to DEXcenter services.

"Rather than focus resources to develop and maintain our own data integration solution, we chose to leverage ITI TranscenData's expertise," stated Kuk Jin Kim, Manager E-CIM Center, Corporate Technology Operations of Samsung Electronics. "DEXcenter provides an established and proven method for exchanging product data among our existing design, collaboration and data management systems and processes as well as those of our global suppliers. This consistency and reliability translates directly into improved process efficiency and significant time savings."

"DEXcenter provides Samsung with an automated and integrated CAD data translation, inspection, and change management solution," explained Don Hemmelgarn, President of ITI TranscenData. "DEXcenter enables users, like Samsung, to focus resources on issues core to their business confident that engineering data can be freely shared regardless of its source or destination," added Hemmelgarn. "We are very pleased to have been entrusted with the supply chain integration success of Samsung. Our selection by Samsung, and others, further solidifies ITI TranscenData as the leader in providing practical and proven solutions for product data interoperability."

ITI TranscenData has worked with Samsung Data Systems (SDS) to deliver a fully integrated, Korean version of DEXcenter. SEC and SDS have made further customizations for their development environment including the ability to certify User Authentication, receive data directly from PDM systems, and integrate Enterprise Portal systems.

DEXcenter provides a single, easy to use, browser interface that enables any Samsung user to send CAD models to suppliers or other internal users even though they may be using dissimilar CAD systems. At Samsung the DEXcenter is accessible through the SEC engineering information portal and is tightly integrated with the company's corporate PLM environments. By deploying ITI TranscenData's CADIQ® Model Quality assurance tools, engineering CAD models exchanged with suppliers are checked for errors that may impact downstream applications.
