SUGAR LAND, Texas, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- NEON(R) Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: NESY), a leading provider of Enterprise Access and Integration software products, today announced that their Diplomat product now seamlessly integrates with NEON Shadow Direct(R). NEON Systems' Diplomat now delivers Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) between disparate Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Help Desk applications, as well as direct access to System/390(R) data and transactions. "Global 2000 companies keep about 70% of their corporate data on the mainframe, yet most of the work is performed in a multi-platform environment, often with UNIX and Windows NT(R) systems. This can be a very complex computing environment, yet for effective CRM and Help Desk Support, integration and global information sharing are essential elements of successful business. NEON Systems is the first company to focus on this issue with EAI for sophisticated cross-platform environments. I believe our mainframe expertise and ability to integrate the Diplomat code with the Shadow Product Group will deliver the B2B integration solution that companies have been seeking," said Joe Backer, president and CEO, NEON Systems. Diplomat provides a blending of EAI and B2B integration for disparate System/390 mainframe, Windows NT, and UNIX applications in interoperable, cross-functional environments. With Diplomat, event-driven integration is streamlined among intra-office business units as well as among business-to- vendor and business-to-customer interactions without investing in new applications or computing platforms. To successfully participate in business-to-business and business-to- consumer e-initiatives such as Web-to-host data access, client/server application development, or enterprise application integration, a key element is access to System/390 IMS, CICS(R), VSAM, ADABAS(R), or DB2 data and transactions. NEON Systems' Shadow Direct is the strategic choice of many Global 2000 companies to provide rapid deployment for e-initiatives through an open and less complex architecture.
