Business/Technology Editors
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1999--Data General Corporation and HAHT Software today announced a new initiative to expand the availability of e-business solutions, at SAPPHIRE '99, SAP's annual North American user conference . The agreement will enable HAHT's customizable HAHT(TM) e-Scenario(TM) family of e-business solutions to be deployed on Data General AViiON(R) NT servers and CLARiiON(R) fibre-channel storage systems.
As a result of the new initiative, the companies plan will expand Data General's successful 'in-a-Box' solutions to include HAHT's e-Scenario applications and implementation services. Data General's 'in-a-Box' solutions are pre-configured, pre-tested system components resulting in easy, streamlined system installation at the customer site. The new solution will include 'e'-enabled modules for enterprise software, AViiON server, CLARiiON storage and network technologies. It will also include overall service and support for enterprise application users. The solution will offer attractive price/performance features and reduced risk for enterprise application customers, and will be marketed by HAHT Software and Data General in the United States.
"Working with HAHT Software significantly strengthens Data General's offerings in the ERP-to-Web space," said Linda Mentzer, vice president of AViiON marketing for Data General. "HAHT's leadership in providing pre-packaged Web solutions for the major ERP vendors, combined with Data General's strengths in technical infrastructure, network services, and support, makes this relationship a winning combination for our customers."
"Our relationship with Data General is all about providing choices and ensuring the best price/performance systems are consistently available for our customers." said Rowland Archer, HAHT Software president and CEO. "It means HAHT can continue to provide the solutions our customers have come to expect - those with massive scalability, security, high availability, and connectivity, to virtually any enterprise application or data, and support for rapid development - on virtually any platform."
The companies will also offer HAHT's leading implementation services and Data General's standard infrastructure services, to allow deployment of the new solution in 30 days. Financing and leasing options will also be available to qualified customers.
