CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 8, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq:NETM), a software company that provides the fastest way to transform legacy applications into new Web-based business solutions, today announced that Shambaugh & Son, the third largest specialty contractor in the United States, has selected NetManage's OnWeb for iSeries(r) to provide quick, cost-effective remote Web access to critical reporting programs for their project managers across more than 30 states.
"In the past, our use of a character-based system made it difficult to access a variety of information from an on-site location. Our work was requiring hard lines and significant investments in additional infrastructure to access any data or reporting programs," said Kevin Dunn, IT manager, Shambaugh & Son. "Using NetManage OnWeb for iSeries, we can leverage the legacy system to access information in the field or from a remote location in an easy-to-understand Web-based format. A simple, familiar setting provides our project managers the ability to view job cost summaries and stay on budget. Additionally, now our customers can easily use this Web-based application to be constantly updated on the status of the project."
NetManage OnWeb for iSeries, a server-based software solution, helps companies leverage existing investments in enterprise information systems to develop new business initiatives with speed, ease and flexibility. Creating direct access to legacy information, OnWeb enables departments to become more efficient while leveraging the amount of data stored on the information-rich IBM AS/400. By reusing functionality from the host systems with zero change to IBM AS/400 assets, OnWeb for iSeries eliminates the high cost and risk of modifying back-end systems.
"NetManage recognizes the significant investment that companies have made to their back-end systems," said Zvi Alon, chairman, president and chief executive officer at NetManage, Inc. "By working with companies like Shambaugh & Son to deliver the best integration technology to suits their needs, we are able to leverage existing information into a modern, remote-access and Web-based environment, dramatically extending business agility."
