NEON Awarded Third Patent
Only EAI Provider with Patents on Messaging, Transformation, Content-Based Routing
DENVER, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- New Era of Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEON - news) announced today it has been
awarded a patent for its messaging technology. U.S. patent number 5,916,307 now protects NEON's unique messaging
technology, one of the key elements of its Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) product suite. This is the third
broad-reaching patent for critical EAI technologies that NEON has obtained in the past 4 months.
''We are #1 in EAI largely because of the strength of our technology,'' said Harold Piskiel, executive vice president and chief
technology officer for NEON. ''Our third patent clearly demonstrates our growing technology leadership position while also
providing another strong competitive barrier''.
EAI products must be able to move large amounts of information over a network quickly, efficiently and reliably. The patented
NEON technology uses a relational database as the implementation vehicle for a message queuing system. It employs a
''balanced queue'' design that moves large amounts of information between systems with guaranteed transactional integrity,
high performance and low overhead.
NEON's other two patents are for its high performance rules engine and dynamic transformation technologies. NEON's
patented rules technology allows its products to determine which applications need what information at high speeds, an
essential task for an EAI product. It can also be used to validate and enrich information as it moves from application to
application. Its patented dynamic transformation capability allows NEON products to transform information from one format
to another, an important EAI capability required whenever systems use different data representations.
The U.S. Patent office issued the messaging patent to NEON in June 1999 on behalf of Piskiel and his co-inventors. The
patent covers the algorithms, database design, and processing methods invented by the team. NEON was awarded U.S.
patent number 5,893,911 for rules in May 1999, while it obtained U.S. patent number 5,842,205 on dynamic transformation
when it acquired VIE Systems in April, 1999.
