New Netscape(R) Application Server for PeopleSoft and Netscape(R) PerLDAP For PeopleSoft
Combine Internet Applications and Data With PeopleSoft Systems
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Netscape Communications Corporation
(Nasdaq: NSCP) today announced two new enterprise software products -- Netscape(R) Application
Server for PeopleSoft software and Netscape(R) PerLDAP for PeopleSoft software -- that integrate
Internet applications with PeopleSoft enterprise resource planning systems. Netscape Application
Server for PeopleSoft includes the components customers need to enhance PeopleSoft-based
business processes and extend them out to partners and customers on Extranets. Netscape PerLDAP
for PeopleSoft and Netscape(R) Directory Server software help companies access and simplify
management of corporate data stored in PeopleSoft. Together, the new products enable companies to
better compete in the Net Economy by extending core business processes and data hosted on
PeopleSoft beyond corporate boundaries on Extranets.
Netscape Application Server for PeopleSoft is a complete solution that includes Netscape Application
Server software with a new Netscape(R) Extension for PeopleSoft for integrating with PeopleSoft
systems; Netscape(R) Enterprise Server software; Netscape PerLDAP for PeopleSoft and Netscape
Directory Server software. Netscape PerLDAP for PeopleSoft is also available separately from the
www.mozilla.org Web site.
"In the Net Economy, companies are searching for ways to leverage the Internet to enhance business
processes and find competitive advantage," said Maneesh Dhir, vice president and general manager of
application platform and managed content division at Netscape. "These new Netscape products help
companies act as enterprise service providers by leveraging PeopleSoft systems to deliver a whole
new set of services such as customer self-service."
Netscape Application Server for PeopleSoft and Netscape PerLDAP for PeopleSoft round-out
Netscape's growing enterprise software portfolio for integrating with enterprise systems. Netscape
Application Server for PeopleSoft extends the Netscape Application Server family which includes
Netscape Application Server for R/3(TM); Netscape solutions for integrating with BEA Tuxedo and
IBM CICS, IMS and MQSeries; Netscape(R) Extension Builder for custom extensions; and a range
of Netscape Extensions available from leading software vendors. Netscape PerLDAP for PeopleSoft
extends the meta-directory capabilities of Netscape Directory Server which synchronizes corporate
directory data from disparate enterprise systems such as the Microsoft Domain Directory, Novell
Directory Services, X.500 directories, Lotus Domino, Visual Basic and Palm Computing devices.
"These new Netscape products are about much more than just providing Web-enabled human
resources or business self-service applications," said Bill McGraw, managing partner for eCommerce
at Sierra Systems, a Netscape Global Systems Integrator and one of PeopleSoft's premier
implementation partners. "Netscape Application Server for PeopleSoft gives our enterprise customers
a highly-scalable and reliable solution for exposing internal business processes to the Web and
deploying Internet commerce solutions on top of PeopleSoft applications."
To help companies develop and deploy Internet applications that access PeopleSoft systems,
Netscape Application Server for PeopleSoft provides both high-performance server software and
easy to use tools. The product includes the proven scalability and reliability of Netscape Application
Server high-performance server software for serving applications to thousands of simultaneous Internet
clients with rapid response times and 7-by-24 availability. Netscape Application Server's caching and
connection pooling technology enables these applications to rapidly access and return data from
PeopleSoft systems through a high-performance Netscape Extension. Netscape Application Server for
PeopleSoft also comes with a set of tools that allows companies to build new business processes in
Java(TM) that integrate with PeopleSoft systems via the PeopleSoft Message Agent Application
Programming Interface.
To simplify management of PeopleSoft-based Internet applications, Netscape Application Server for
PeopleSoft includes Netscape Directory Server high-performance management and security software
that simplifies the management of corporate data across the enterprise and controls roles-based access
to users logging into PeopleSoft-based Internet applications. Netscape Application Server for
PeopleSoft also includes the new Netscape PerLDAP for PeopleSoft product to automate the
extraction of directory data from PeopleSoft via the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Netscape PerLDAP for PeopleSoft further enhances Netscape's meta-directory offerings by
automatically populating PeopleSoft data into Netscape Directory Server where it is widely available
to other directory-enabled applications. Netscape's service-ready infrastructure is ideal for Enterprise
Service Providers (ESPs) competing in the Net Economy where high performance, scalability, 24x7
reliability and strong security features that extend outside the enterprise are critical for success.
Netscape Application Server is one of the industry's fastest, most-scalable and reliable Internet
application servers for deploying business-critical applications on the Internet and Extranets. Using
pre-built or custom extensions, customers can integrate applications deployed on Netscape
Application Server with existing enterprise infrastructure. Netscape Directory Server software
provides real-time directory and security services that enable centralized, low cost management of the
myriad of Internet applications deployed by ESPs and ISVs.
Netscape Application Server software for PeopleSoft includes Netscape Application Server,
Netscape Extension for PeopleSoft, Netscape Enterprise Server, Netscape PerLDAP for PeopleSoft
and a limited-use copy of Netscape Directory Server. The new solution is expected to be available
