CLIFTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1998-- Vertex Industries, Inc.
(OTCBB: VETX - news) today announced
its selection by Netscape Communications Corp. (NASDAQ: NSCP - news) to be a
Netscape Independent Software Vendor
(ISV), dedicated to building business-critical applications based on the Netscape
Application Server. Vertex will be developing
a range of add-on solutions, using Netscape Extension Builder, that provide
high-performance, scalable and reliable integration
of existing enterprise applications with new Internet legacy connectivity solutions.
Vertex will also work closely with Netscape to design middleware extensions that
connect legacy systems to web-based
systems so that business customers can easily access integration solutions.
''We are excited to be partnered with Netscape to provide high quality web-based
solutions to suit Vertex's customers' needs.
Netscape Application Server provides us with the best platform from which we can
build business-critical Internet
applications,'' said Ron Byer, President and CEO of Vertex. ''By using Netscape
Application Server, we are able to create
higher-value applications for our customers and help them integrate legacy enterprise
systems with Internet technology''.
By developing a Netscape extension interface for its supported middleware
technologies, Vertex will be creating bridges into
the legacy world from emerging Web and e-commerce implementations. For instance, a
new on-line store developed using
Netscape's Application Server will be able to query and update a Tandem-based order
management system as part of the
natural storefront processing. Using Vertex's middleware expertise, this type of
integration will be available on a wide variety of
platforms including IBM/MVS, Digital OpenVMS, Unisys A-series, Stratus, Tandem,
NT and all flavors of UNIX.
Vertex Industries, Inc. is a systems integration and solution provider that offers turnkey
automated bar code solutions and
middleware support for seamless connection of distributed applications. Vertex
customers include AT&T, Bell Atlantic, MCI,
Credit Lyonnais, Dell Computers, Tenneco Packaging, and the New Zealand Stock
