The relationship will result in comprehensive integration between CiscoWorks2000 and Aprisma's flagship SPECTRUM software suite. ''We are pleased to welcome Aprisma into the Cisco Management Connection program,'' said Jim Turner, director of marketing, Cisco Systems Enterprise Management Business Unit. ''The integration of SPECTRUM and CiscoWorks2000 via Internet-based technologies and standards will provide our joint customers a flexible solution for building their high-performance, securely managed intranets.'' Under the Cisco Management Connection program, SPECTRUM will assure reliable operation of Cisco-based, business-critical networks through its advanced fault isolation, configuration management and root-cause analysis capabilities. The full-featured integration enables customers to continue using the software tools they are most familiar with while leveraging the specific strengths of both CiscoWorks2000 and SPECTRUM.
