Company Press Release SOURCE: New Era of Networks, Inc. NEON Announces e-Biz Integrator DENVER, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- New Era of Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEON - news) today announced the availability of a new product, NEON e-Biz Integrator, that connects popular web applications to legacy applications. ``We estimate that 80% of the data and logic that drive e-Business resides in legacy application software,' said Rick Adam, CEO for NEON. ``NEON is providing a product to integrate legacy applications to front-end web applications, such as BroadVision, BEA WebLogic, Commerce One, IBM WebSphere and others.' ``Business community integration (BCI) is a market of high growth potential, and NEON's movement into this market is a natural extension of its expertise in Enterprise Application Integration (EAI),' according to The AMR Research Alert on Enabling Technologies for September 8, 1999. NEON e-Biz Integrator NEON e-Biz Integrator performs application integration functions for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) applications. It enables companies to use their existing applications and connect them to the new e-constituents: customers, employees, and partners -- without recreating or duplicating any existing information. NEON e-Biz Integrator provides functionality that is not typically part of B2B and B2C applications available today. It handles five key functions required for applications to share information: move, route, transform, enrich, and bridge. -- Move transports information to and from integration servers and applications -- Route determines which information needs to go where -- Transform translates source data into information for target systems -- Enrich adds information required by target systems -- Bridge links integration servers to web application servers NEON e-Biz Integrator also provides native support for both XML and EDI for computer-to-computer e-Business. It supports HTML and HTTP for web server connectivity. For application servers, it supports Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) and Microsoft COM/DNA interfaces. NEON e-Biz Integrator supports applications and application servers from IBM, BEA, Sun/Forte, BroadVision, and Commerce One. It also supports NEON's existing adapters for packaged applications, legacy systems, databases, protocols, and other B2B standards (including S.W.I.F.T., FIX, ACORD and HL/7). NEON e-Biz Integrator enables companies to automate business processes across multiple applications within the enterprise and between business partners and customers. This eliminates error-prone, manual processing bottlenecks that are challenging companies to scale up to Internet volumes. The product enables users to: -- Map out business process flows that span and encompass multiple applications -- Manage the run-time execution of the automated business process across multiple systems -- Monitor key operational and business metrics in real time -- Modify the automated process over time to optimize performance and keep up with ongoing business and technology changes Customer-Proven Technology NEON e-Biz Integrator is based on technology its customers have been using for years to implement e-Business applications. Examples include: Primark uses NEON's technology to provide corporate information to over 40,000 subscribers over the Internet. Primark sends over 14 million messages a day, with peaks of 30 million, from over 100 applications that exist within the company and outside Primark. Baptist Healthcare System uses NEON products to gain competitive advantages and offer better service to doctors who work out of the hospital. Baptist provides patient information and test results to doctors via the Internet, making it easier for doctors who are continually working out of multiple offices and hospitals. VF Corporation completed integration of 14 internal departments with SAP R/3 and has begun integrating with the Internet and i2's Supply Chain Planning Module. VF Corporation was able to extend much of their internal integration work to their external E-Business and supply chain efforts, shortening their implementation time. National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) has created an industry-wide portal of buyers and sellers of annuity applications using NEON products. Annuity Processing Service is an automated, centralized processing system that links insurance carriers with broker/dealers, banks and/or their affiliated insurance agencies that sell annuities. Availability and Representative Pricing NEON e-Biz Integrator is available immediately for Windows NT. Pricing starts at $100,000 and is based on server platform and transaction volume. Neil
