News keeps pouring - looks like NETM is determined to take off - they need orders, that's all. Thursday November 18, 4:44 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: NetManage eBusiness Group Salvo Enables Business-to-Business Demand Chain Applications With XML Support Salvo Allows Rapid Development and Deployment of XML-Based Applications OTTAWA, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- NetManage eBusiness Group (Nasdaq: NETM - news), a leader in Enterprise-to-Extranet solutions for the demand chain, today announced that Salvo® now supports XML-based communication between business applications. As part of NetManage's ongoing eBusiness strategy, Salvo's unique business logic engine and superior information access capabilities can use XML technology to standardize management and distribution of information from application to application. Salvo effortlessly overcomes the barriers between applications, allowing disparate systems to share and exchange backend data, including XML-based data sources. In addition to presenting integrated information using HTML, or via its COM/ActiveX and JavaBean interfaces, Salvo can now also present information to other applications in XML formats. While XML allows organizations to create application-specific dialects that depict enterprise data, Salvo provides a complete development framework to allow programmers to represent customer-oriented business processes using high-level business logic. By encapsulating data, information and business logic into re-usable Information Objects(TM), Salvo offers a highly scalable, robust and complete solution allowing for presentation of enterprise information from virtually any source in an XML format. ''Many organizations, especially those with extensive legacy applications, want to develop standards-based platforms that allow their applications to talk to other applications both internally and externally,'' said Joanne Pope, Director of Product Management, NetManage eBusiness Group. ''Salvo provides the development environment to achieve those requirements. Our ability to work with XML demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that our customers have an interoperable technology that meets their needs in the management and distribution of information for business-to-business applications in today's electronic economy.'' About Salvo Salvo is a proven and easy-to-use application development framework for building enterprise-level Extranet applications. A true middle-tier solution, Salvo uses component-based business logic to create new information from existing data stored in corporate systems. Salvo consists of the Salvo Server(TM) and Salvo Impact(TM), the visual development environment. Salvo Impact provides a whiteboard approach to building the applications. By ''dragging and dropping'' and then joining business objects to establish their relationships, application developers can easily visualize the structure and logic of an application. Salvo's component-based, multi-tier model ensures that Salvo applications are robust, scaleable and easy to maintain.
