MIAMI – March 13, 2007 – New Generation Computing® (NGC®) today announced that Goody’s Family Clothing, a leading retailer of moderately priced apparel, has chosen NGC’s e-PLM and e-SPS software for an end-to-end global sourcing and PLM solution. NGC, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Software Inc. (NASDAQ: AMSWA), is a market leader in software for the fashion, apparel and footwear industries, with solutions that include e-SPS for global sourcing, e-PLM for product lifecycle management, and RedHorse® ERP software.

Goody’s selected e-PLM and e-SPS in order to give the retailer the ability to track the complete lifecycle of its private-label apparel merchandise. Goody’s relies heavily on promotions and advertising, and they needed to improve delivery to its stores, to ensure that advertised merchandise was available on time and with the right quality. NGC’s e-PLM and e-SPS software offered the right combination to give Goody’s the real-time visibility it required.

“We were impressed with the maturity and features of e-SPS and e-PLM, and we found that NGC’s PLM component was very strong,” said Joe Geist, director of IT systems, Goody’s Family Clothing. “With e-SPS and e-PLM, Goody’s will be able to streamline our processes and improve coordination between our offices and overseas vendors, with complete visibility of a style through the product lifecycle.”

“NGC is moving quickly to implement e-SPS and e-PLM for Goody’s, and we are pleased that they will soon be able to realize the benefits of NGC’s integrated, end-to-end PLM and global sourcing solution,” said Alan Brooks, president, NGC.
