CUPERTINO, Calif., April 10, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq:NETM), a software company that provides solutions for integrating, Web enabling and accessing enterprise information systems, today announced that it has signed a preferred reseller agreement with Tier1 Innovation, a leading provider of management and systems integration consulting services for the commercial and public sector. Under the terms of the agreement, Tier1 will resell NetManage Librados standards-based JCA and .NET adapters and also integrate the connectors as part of the company's packaged enterprise integration solutions. NetManage Librados Adapters simplify back-end connectivity to any enterprise information system, allowing Tier1 to rapidly deliver integration solutions to customers implementing composite applications and service-oriented architectures (SOA).
"NetManage Librados standards-based adapters eliminate the need to spend resources building connectors from scratch, ultimately saving our customers both time and money," said Scott Nesbitt, vice president of commercial L.O.B. at Tier1 Innovation. "We service a large base of government, commercial and educational institutions and are very enthusiastic about the prospect of expanding our partnership to include additional NetManage solutions that enable customers to easily and cost effectively integrate applications, data and business processes."
NetManage Librados Adapters expose back-end enterprise system functionality and data into any J2EE or BizTalk application server, Web server or standalone environment, without being locked into any single server vendor. With a comprehensive suite of application adapters, back-end enterprise application functionality and data can be exposed in a wide variety of formats, such as XML and Web services. With Librados adapters, NetManage is driving out the prohibitive cost of enterprise application integration by offering flexible licensing options for independent software vendors, as well as low-cost server and site license options for end customers and comprehensive maintenance and support.
"NetManage's partnership with Tier1 Innovation, a recognized leader in SOA innovation with a track record of successful implementations, presents us with new opportunities for strategic growth in channel sales," said Zvi Alon, chairman, president and CEO at NetManage, Inc. "We look forward to a healthy pipeline of joint SOA projects and rapid expansion of our partnership."
