NETM mmmm (COMTEX) B: NETMANAGE CEO INTERVIEW NOW ON THE WEB B: NETMANAGE CEO INTERVIEW NOW ON THE WEB Zvi Alon Highlights Corporate Vision; Discusses Product Strategy CUPERTINO, Calif., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Zvi Alon, president and CEO of NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq: NETM), recently gave an interview for a program broadcast by Stock-Line, the stock traders' news network. The entire interview can be heard at Stock-Line's web-site, stock-line.com. In the interview, Alon discussed NetManage's re-positioning into the connectivity market. In addition to software tools for connecting personal computers to corporate mainframe, midrange and UNIX (R) computers, NetManage has focused on the needs of the corporate and vendor support desk. "We realized that one of the biggest problems all customers have is that they buy a piece of software and they will have to call the vendor within the first hour of obtaining the software because it doesn't install very well, or within the first day because something was not very clear in the instructions, or a year later because they lost the manual. Once they call the vendor, it's a very long and tedious process to resolve those issues. Hence, we developed a very unique solution called SupportNow(TM) -- a tool specifically aimed at real-time customer support...it applies to every single corporation in the world," Alon explained. About NetManage NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq: NETM), founded in 1990, is the leading single source for web-to-host connections via Java or ActiveX, and for server-based thin-client and thick-client software, connecting desktop PCs to UNIX, IBM AS/400 and mainframe computers.
