OKI Software Selects MKS Integrity as Platform for Software Development Process Management

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
MKS Inc. (TSX: MKX) today announced that Oki Software Co., Ltd. has
selected MKS Integrity(TM) for software development and maintenance
process management.

Mr. Osamu Yaekura, President of OKI Software comments, "We evaluated
several ALM solution packages, including freeware, against our
requirement for fully integrated software development and maintenance
management. We needed very strong requirements management, linked into
source, testing and deployment into production. We also needed integrated
ITIL-like maintenance ability for subsequent improvements and changes
over the lifecycle of large systems which we develop for our customers.
MKS Integrity clearly came out on top, and we will use it on a
mission-critical development project from May as a first step. The unique
architecture of MKS Integrity, with its ability to connect across process
areas to manage linkages between work products and people, was a key
factor in our decision."

David Jones, MKS Managing Director for Asia Pacific says, "OKI Software
has a strong position in providing front-end systems solutions to large
enterprises. As such, their solutions touch the customers of their
customers and the strength of MKS Integrity requirements management will
connect those customer needs into OKI Software's development activities.
Streamlining the process and sharing documents and status information
across project participants will facilitate further productivity
increases to the benefit of OKI Software's customers. This is similar to
what MKS Integrity has made possible at other large systems solution
providers."
