CUPERTINO and SAN JOSE, Calif., May 27, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq:NETM), a software company that provides the fastest way to transform legacy applications into new Web-based business solutions, and HiT Software Inc., an established player in the data integration and access (DIA) market, today announced a joint partnership to help legacy users easily create structure from unstructured legacy data. This global partnership will open up joint revenue opportunities across North America, Europe and Asia.
Supporting this partnership is the availability of a joint whitepaper created by both NetManage and HiT Software. This whitepaper demonstrates how NetManage's OnWeb(r), working in conjunction with HiT Software's Allora(tm), takes unstructured legacy data and makes it accessible through any relational database. The highlight of the whitepaper is a section that demonstrates, step by step, how a user, with no SQL coding, can migrate real time, unstructured legacy data into a database in 10 minutes. The whitepaper is available for download at: https://www.netmanage.com/customers/stories/newmanageHiTsw_whitePaper.pdf.
"Legacy systems still power the majority of worldwide business transactions. Our customers use OnWeb to drive more business from those legacy systems," said Zvi Alon, chairman, president and CEO at NetManage, Inc. "This partnership with HiT Software allows us to capture even more of the legacy integration market while providing our customers with another way to create new business solutions."
NetManage solutions transform legacy applications into new Web-based solutions by exposing critical business functions as Websites, Web services, or in this case, standard XML. HiT Software's Allora solution then allows for these XML files to be mapped, manually or automatically, into structured relational database systems.
"Legacy systems are still vital components for many companies. With the combination of NetManage's OnWeb and HiT Software's Allora, these companies can now unlock legacy data and make it accessible via relational databases for reporting, business intelligence and other decision support," said Giacomo Lorenzin, president and CEO at HiT Software. "To achieve this goal with easy-to-use applications, and without writing one line of code, is enormously valuable for organizations."
