Wednesday March 25, 1:29 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Miller Freeman 'Network Magazine' Announces 1998 Product of the Year Awards, Creates New 'Hall Of Fame' SAN FRANCISCO, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Network Magazine, the leading publication for networking/IT Executives, has announced the winners of its 11th Annual Product of the Year Awards, and has created a new Network Magazine Hall of Fame. Long seen as one of the most desired independent product awards in the networking/IT field, Network Magazine's Products of the Year Awards are presented to products, services, and technologies which have shown to be of extraordinary value and significance to networking/IT executives and their enterprises. In keeping with Network Magazine's editorial mission to provide the competitive edge in business technology, the award winners offer outstanding ability to help enterprises make money, save money, or become more competitive. Each year, the editors recognize the most significant products in particular product categories. Products are nominated in an internal process by Network Magazine's editors with consultation by impartial technical experts; the winners in all categories are chosen by the editors themselves. The Product of the Year Award winners will be highlighted in the April 1998 issue of Network Magazine and will be celebrated at the Networld + Interop conference, May 3-8 in Las Vegas. ''We looked for products that are sure to make a significant impact on our readers' networks, and therefore, on their businesses'' said Alan Zeichick, editor-in-chief of Network Magazine. ''We looked at how capable these products are at solving new problems and creating new opportunities for empowering employees, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing enterprise computing costs. With these awards, we recognize the best of the best -- products that are sworn by, rather than sworn at, by our networking/IT executives.'' The Product of the Year winners must have been introduced or substantively enhanced during Calendar Year 1998. Unlike awards associated with many other publications, vendor input into Network Magazine's award nomination or selection process is not allowed, making this truly an award that indicates product or service excellence. (A list of 1998 Product of the Year winners is attached.) In 1998, Network Magazine's editor also created a new Hall of Fame, designed to recognize those companies which, through hard work, innovation, or savvy acquisition, have historically won ten or more Product of the Year Awards. ''When companies return to the winner's circle again and again, there's a clear pattern of excellence,'' explained Zeichick. ''We are delighted to induct five exceptional companies into our new Hall of Fame, telling our readers -- and the world -- that these organizations not only create outstanding products and service, but do so again and again.'' The 1998 inductees into the Network Magazine Hall of Fame are Cisco Systems Inc. [Nasdaq:CSCO - news], Hewlett-Packard Co. [NYSE:HWP - news], IBM Corp., Network Associates Inc., and Novell Inc [Nasdaq:NOVL - news]. Network Magazine is published by Miller Freeman Inc.

With divisions in Europe and Asia, as well as the U.S., Miller Freeman produces more than 290 publications and 380 events serving 49 markets worldwide.
