Eicon: Aviva Solutions Announces Newest Version of Aviva
for Java 3.00 Web-to-Host, Thin Client Programming Tool
Supporting 3270, 5250 and VT Based e-Business Integration
MONTREAL, QUEBEC-- OCTOBER 16, 2000 - 09:01 EDT
Flexible e-business platform allows companies to create
easy-to-use and deploy Web-to-Host or Wireless-to-Host e-business
solutions.
Aviva Solutions, a division of Eicon Technology Corporation,
announces the worldwide availability of Aviva for Java 3.00,
providing complete support for multi-host 3270, 5250 and VT host
environments.
Aviva for Java 3.00 maintains its unique SSL security options and
extended capabilities for servlet-based host integration, making
it an extremely secure and flexible solution for extending
enterprise data to e-business applications and remote users.
Further reinforcing the flexibility, power and 'thinness' of the
product, as an applet, Aviva for Java is one of the first
Web-to-host e-business enablers to implement componentization.
Essentially, only those software components required to access
specific host environments are downloaded to users' workstations.
Users experience faster download times, decreased downtime and
thus, increased productivity.
"Aviva for Java 3.00 pleasingly and persuasively builds upon the
many value-added functions, such as 2-tier SSL security and OHIO,
that were available with the 2.0 version of this competitive
Web-to-host offering," said Anura Gurugé, an independent analyst,
author of "Integrating TCP/IP i*nets with IBM Data Centers.
"Aviva's pedigree and credentials in the host access arena are
impeccable and hard to match. With Aviva for Java 3.0, Eicon's
newly formed Aviva Solutions Division clearly demonstrates that it
knows exactly what this market wants and knows how and when to
deliver it... in the most optimum way", Gurugé added.
Aviva for Java 3.00 is a multi-faceted, Java-based, Web-to-host
solution that serves as a secure:
/T/
* Intranet browser-based terminal emulation solution where
Java applets are deployed from a Web server to remote users
(such as business partners/suppliers or branch offices),
regardless of their client platforms; replaces traditional
full-client products and greatly decreases cost-of-ownership
via central management, configuration and automatic updates;
* Tool through which to build Intranet-based productivity
applications where existing host-based information can be
automated or rejuvenated to create effective, intuitive
browser-based applications that increase usability,
satisfaction and productivity levels;
* B2B application enabler where host information is securely
extended over the extranet to provide valued business
partners with access to the corporate host for streamlined
business operations;
* B2C application enabler where secure business-to-consumer
solutions can be built by integrating existing host data to
create Web-based and wireless transaction-oriented
applications.

"Aviva for Java is an exceptional e-business platform and
long-term connectivity solution. It not only yields reduced
training and support costs for our customers, but finally makes it
possible for companies with mixed environments - IBM mainframes,
midrange, Unix and DEC hosts - to take advantage of one product to
create easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy Web-based or wireless
business solutions." Larry Curran, Vice President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Aviva Solutions Division, stated.
"Because Aviva for Java is the only thin-client solution available
today that offers complete end-to-end security as well as
componentization, our customers are ensured power, security and
flexibility as they extend their host applications to new
e-business and e-commerce opportunities," added Curran.
