ACTIFY VISUALISATION CAPABILITIES ADDED TO CIM DATABASE 

Actify SpinFire Technology Incorporated Into Product Data Management Solution 

Frankfurt Germany, November 30, 2005 � Actify Inc., the global leader in digital design communication solutions has today announced that its Spinfire visualisation software is incorporated into the latest version of CIM DATABASE from CONTACT Software GmbH as part of an agreement between CONTACT Software and Actify distributor Kisters. CIM DATABASE customers will also benefit from consultancy services and support from Kisters.

Actify SpinFire is incorporated into version 2.9.5 of CONTACT Software�s product data management solution. SpinFire addresses the collaboration needs of workgroups and design teams within manufacturing corporations enabling users to securely share and access product information held in multiple native CAD formats without the need for complex or costly CAD software.

Hanns Kisters, member of the Kisters Board of Directors comments, �Kisters is delighted that its close relationship with both Actify and CONTACT Software will result in benefits for CIM DATABASE users. By extending access to design data to employees who may not have CAD software on their desktops, Actify simultaneously helps foster collaboration and streamline the product development process.�

Randy Ochs, president and CEO of Actify says, �We are excited that Contact Software and Kisters AG have selected Actify�s SpinFire technology as their preferred digital design collaboration solution. Kisters AG is the latest addition to Actify�s German distribution network. This is an excellent example of the value the partnership has been able to create in just a short time.�

Frank Patz, head of software development at CONTACT says, �We decided to incorporate Actify SpinFire into CIM DATABASE due to the wide range of CAD systems and data formats it supports and because of the availability of expert support from Kisters.� Formats supported by Actify SpinFire include CATIA V4/V5, ProENGINEER, Unigraphics, SolidWorks, SolidEdge and Inventor and data formats including JT, VRML, VDAFS and STEP.

Kisters AG will be exhibiting solutions from Actify at Euromold, Frankfurt Germany, 30 November to 3 December, in Hall 8.0, booth B86. CONTACT Software will demonstrate the new version of CIM DATABASE including the SpinFire solution at Euromold in Hall 6.0, booth C114.
