NetManage Introduces OnWeb Bridge for eBusiness

NetManage Inc, a leading supplier of eBusiness access and application integration solutions, announced its OnWeb solutions set as the keystone piece in its comprehensive eBusiness bridge strategy.

NetManage's installed base of 30,000 customers can now leverage NetManage technology from simple PC-to-host and Web-to-host data access, through full data integration and data manipulation within a single browser window -- and every step in between. This complete range of capabilities allows companies to progressively move their business processes to the Web as they seek to implement their eBusiness initiatives.

The OnWeb products are specifically designed to provide companies with solutions that allow them to extend their processes to new groups of users. As companies look for ways to protect and leverage their existing information systems, they will be able to use the OnWeb portfolio to develop enterprise based Web applications targeted at customers, distributors and business partners for performing functions such as order entry and tracking, virtual inventory management, shipping, and other key business processes.

"NetManage is delivering a very impressive, complete platform of solutions that bridge the gap to eBusiness," said Cindy Borovick, Research Manager, IDC. "The blend of data access products with full eBusiness integration solutions are on target for companies that need to quickly transform their business to the Web."

The OnWeb solution set initially includes OnWeb Host Publisher and OnWeb Integrator. Compatibility between the solutions ensures that organizations deploying host publishing applications can migrate them easily and quickly into integrated applications. In addition, OnWeb Developer software development kit provides data access controls and templates for customers developing their own applications using a multi-tool approach. All OnWeb solutions also include NetManage's consistent and common management tools as well as NetManage's unique built-in real-time support capability.

"NetManage realizes that today's business climate demands a set of solutions that provides a fast, flexible and phased approach to eBusiness," said Zvi Alon, president and CEO of NetManage. "The OnWeb product suite provides companies with a critical combination of fast, low risk solutions that are specifically designed to deliver host-based Web applications quickly. Companies can now provide their customers and business partners with high performance Web applications that leverage existing enterprises and legacy information."
