The story

Agile Software Corporation was founded in California in 1995 by Bryan D. Stolle, who served as the company's chairman. It built its business supplying PLM software primarily to electronics, high-technology and life sciences manufacturers, sectors where managing complex bills of materials, component sourcing, regulatory compliance and design revisions across global supply chains was a significant operational challenge. The company operated as a publicly traded company on NASDAQ.

In February 2005, Agile Software acquired Cimmetry Systems Corporation, a privately owned software developer specialising in enterprise visualization tools, for approximately US$41.5 million in cash. Cimmetry became a wholly owned subsidiary and its technology was integrated into Agile's product set.

On 15 May 2007, Oracle Corporation announced it would acquire Agile Software Corporation through a cash merger at US$8.10 per share, valuing the deal at approximately US$495 million. The acquisition completed on 16 July 2007, and Agile became a wholly owned Oracle subsidiary. Oracle subsequently used the acquisition to strengthen its Oracle Cloud PLM offering within the Oracle Cloud SCM suite.
