SANTA CLARA, Calif. - March 2, 2005 - SigmaQuest™ Inc., the enterprise software company whose solutions provide unprecedented insight and actionable information to ensure product and process integrity, today announced the receipt of a multi-year contract from a leading aerospace manufacturer. The manufacturer will leverage SigmaQuest's SigmaSure Enterprise Edition software to ensure globally-distributed factories and suppliers adhere to product-quality specifications, and to drive overall quality improvements by quickly identifying non-conforming products.

SigmaSure Enterprise is well-suited for leading OEMs as it gives users real-time access and insight into product and process quality information, which in turn reduces defects and corrective action cycle times.   Whether they have a single supplier, or hundreds of them, OEMs that use SigmaSure Enterprise can quickly access information about manufacturing problems throughout the supply chain.   This enables them to prevent the production and integration of poor-quality products and thus reduce product-development costs and the potential for recalls.

"World-class manufacturers and their suppliers are increasingly seeing the need for real-time comprehensive solutions for assuring consistent product quality across their supply chains.   By using SigmaSure, these companies are reducing cost and cycle times by taking the variability out of supplier quality," said Nader Fathi, president and CEO of SigmaQuest.   "We are pleased to be working with this industry leader to make their product offerings great."
