NetManage, Microsoft Collaborate to Deliver eBusiness Solutions
NetManage to Build Integration Server Capability on Microsoft`s Forthcoming Babylon SNA Platform
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2000--NetManage Inc. (Nasdaq:NETM - news), a leading supplier of eBusiness access and application integration solutions, today announces it is partnering with Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) to produce a version of the NetManage OnWeb eBusiness Integrator Application Server to run on Microsoft`s SNA Server successor, codenamed ``Babylon.``
The two companies will work together to enhance NetManage OnWeb eBusiness Integrator, as well as enhance Babylon`s functionality, particularly in the area of UNIX connectivity.
NetManage will utilize the Babylon SDK environment to produce a new product that will allow customers to quickly develop and deploy new server-based eBusiness applications that leverage existing mainframe host applications and data. The NetManage product, which will run on top of Babylon, will allow applications-from straightforward Web publishing to full multi-source application integration-to easily be completed based on standard Microsoft WinDNA 2000 technology.
NetManage will launch the new product to coincide with the availability of the Babylon. NetManage will also provide systems integration and professional services around the new platform and product set to help customers and partners effectively implement new applications.
Chris Olson, group product manager for Microsoft, said, ``We are pleased to have NetManage as a partner to deliver full solutions to our customers. NetManage is a key player in the host access and application integration and eBusiness markets, and their involvement will optimize our customers` deployment of Babylon.``
Zvi Alon, president and CEO of NetManage commented, ``We have worked with Microsoft for some time, and this agreement and collaboration reinforces the strength of the combination of our products. NetManage has made great strides to evolve towards being a major supplier of eBusiness and application integration solutions and this agreement marks a milestone in that progress. NetManage will deliver one of the strongest product sets available based on this new Microsoft platform.``
NetManage will utilize the Babylon SDKs developed by Microsoft to host a version of its market leading OnWeb eBusiness Integrator Application Server and OnWeb eBusiness Designer graphical development environment. The resulting combined product will give customers the ability to develop applications based on existing enterprise data that can, for example, address supply and demand chain eBusiness requirements, thereby allowing corporations to link with their business partners and customers.
Based on NetManage`s currently shipping Salvo product, now at Version 4, OnWeb eBusiness Integrator is a mature product that will support thousands of users in a secure and manageable way. More than 150 major corporations worldwide, from manufacturing to finance and service companies, have used NetManage Integration Server and Development Environment technology to deploy new eBusiness and eCommerce applications based on their existing host-centric applications and data.

(MVII) Mark VII Transportation Chooses SupportNow Enterprise to Provide IT Support to 130 Sales Offices; ``SupportNow Enterprise Cuts Support Call Times in Half``
Business Wire - Wednesday, March 01, 2000

CUPERTINO, Calif., Mar 1, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NetManage Inc. (Nasdaq:NETM), a leading supplier of eBusiness access and application integration solutions, today announced that Mark VII has selected NetManage`s SupportNow(tm) Enterprise as their interactive real-time support software.

Mark VII will use SupportNow Enterprise to conduct interactive support sessions for IT support between the headquarters and its 130 franchised sales offices.

Mark VII, Inc. (Nasdaq:MVII) is a third party transportation logistics company, headquartered in Memphis, TN. As a member of the MSAS Global Logistics family of companies, Mark VII is part of a $3 billion organization with over 675 offices in 112 countries spanning the globe. The company is a non-asset based transportation provider, moving any size freight from point A to point B using all modes of transportation. Customers include Frito Lay, Miller/Coors, and Pier 1 Imports.


Mark VII chose SupportNow Enterprise because it reduced their support costs significantly, and it enabled the IT office at headquarters to effectively support the 130 sales offices nationwide with IT technical support problems. The real-time chat and firewall protection features of SupportNow Enterprise were also key decision factors for Mark VII because most of their sales offices did not have dedicated Internet lines, so support sessions previously tied up two voice lines. Now the sales offices can securely communicate with the IT Support Center using just one phone line.


"The ability of SupportNow Enterprise to connect to two remote offices for interactive help sessions, both behind firewalls, has improved the way our company does business. Since deploying SupportNow Enterprise just 3 months ago, we have been able to cut our average support call in half to just 15 minutes. There is no other product out there that delivers the features SupportNow Enterprise does with firewall protection," remarked Brian Burns, Client Services Manager at Mark VII.


SupportNow Enterprise begins at under $11,000 for a 100-seat configuration.
