Microsoft Taps E-Sync Networks for State-of-the-Art Windows 2000 Executive Briefing Centers
E-Sync Networks' Offers Hands-on Look At New Operating System
TRUMBULL, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 1999--E-Sync Networks, Inc. (OTC BB: ESNI)(www.e-syncnet.com), a leading global provider of managed e-business-to-business solutions and services, today formally inaugurated two new Executive Briefing Centers, state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to showcasing Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT - news) latest technology offerings.
Located in Trumbull, CT and New York City, NY, the Centers are among a select few participating in Microsoft's Corporate Preview Program for Windows 2000. They offer executives and IT professionals an in-depth, hands-on look at the much-anticipated Windows 2000 operating system, in a completely risk-free environment.
``Momentum has been building about the power of the Windows 2000 platform for some time, but most IT managers and executive have not been able to evaluate the product line because they have been focused on Y2K compliance and large-scale ERP implementations,' explains John C. Maxwell, Chairman and CEO of E-Sync Networks. ``Our Executive Briefing Centers offer a risk-free environment wherein decision-makers can assess the products' functionality and speak with highly skilled consultants to determine whether or not it's feasible to upgrade to Windows 2000 immediately.'
``The New York metropolitan area is a very important market for Microsoft, so we depend on our Solution Provider Partners - like E-Sync Networks - to complement our efforts. E-Sync Networks helps us meet our customers' expectations in three crucial areas of our business - sales, services, and, most importantly, customer support. We are very fortunate to have E-Sync Networks as a partner,' states Bob Jones, General Manager, New York Metro District, Microsoft Corporation.
E-Sync Networks' Executive Briefing Centers, sponsored in part by Compaq Computers (NYSE: CPQ - news), showcase the Windows 2000 line of products currently in beta release, including Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
Windows 2000 incorporates the best business features of previous Windows platforms, including simplified user interfaces, improved plug and play, power management, and support for the Internet-enabling of a broad range of hardware devices. There are new security features that make Windows 2000 more reliable, secure, and manageable, as well as new functionality like active directory.
Experienced E-Sync Networks' consultants at the Executive Briefing Centers can demonstrate these features in the context of real-world applications, such as pre-configured installation, quality-of-service, and remote-user synchronization programs, so executives see the power of Windows 2000 in action. The company's systems migration specialists can highlight the latest XML applications for Web-based data interchange to showcase various legacy-to-Web migration strategies and techniques.
Professional services representatives, who can provide expert technical advice and implementation strategies using Windows 2000, staff the Executive Briefing Centers. Robert Hunt, E-Sync Network's Manager of Consulting Services and a Windows 2000 Ask the Experts Columnist on CMP' s Planet IT (www.planetit.com/techcenters/windows_2000), is also actively involved in the Centers' day-to-day operations.
E-Sync Networks - which recently launched an e-business-to-business portal using Java class libraries, SGML, and XML to facilitate partner and cross-corporate application integration - has been a Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider since 1995 and maintains close ties with the company as a key systems integration partner. The company's consultants have assisted hundreds of customers with Windows implementation and systems design strategies. ``In addition to providing Windows expertise, our partnership with Microsoft enables us to demonstrate the power of our business-to-business solutions on the Windows 2000 platform, which greatly benefits Executive Briefing Center visitors,' says Maxwell.
Technology managers who visit the Executive Briefing Centers can test the Windows 2000 line of products and consult with E-Sync Networks' talented team on the software's functionality, applications, and benefits.
Both Centers' doors will open on November 1, 1999.
