Using Unify NXJ Benefit from Accelerated Development SACRAMENTO,
Calif., - Feb. 12, 2003 - Unify Corporation (OTC BB: UNFY), a leading
provider of business application platform solutions, today announced
that leading companies including Amerillium Systems, Inc., ANFA, Cast
& Crew, Celebrity Software, Fernando Chinaglia, IDS, MDSI, Net Team,
Telios and Vinci Park have selected Unify NXJ as a strategic platform
for development and deployment of new enterprise Web applications. These
customer wins demonstrate gaining momentum for Unify NXJ as a leading
business application platform for effectively delivering J2EE™
Web applications that decrease operating costs and increase competitive
advantage. Unify NXJ noticeably
simplifies and speeds the development and deployment of enterprise Web
applications on the J2EE platform by providing up to 70 percent of a
Web application's functionality out of the box. By uniquely combining
common application behaviors and business rules with the J2EE blueprints,
Unify NXJ enables companies to leverage the skills of their COBOL and
client/server developers to quickly and effectively deliver J2EE-compliant
enterprise Web applications. Cast & Crew,
a leading provider of payroll and talent payment services to the entertainment
industry, has added Unify NXJ to its mix of development methodologies.
"Unify NXJ will allow us to quickly build and deploy Web-based
applications. We needed a better way to respond rapidly to the ever
changing landscape of new market opportunities in our industry,"
said Sadhunathan Nadesan, CIO of Cast & Crew. "We are already
the industry leader in Web-based on-location production accounting systems,
currently using our own in-house technology. But everything new we do,
we have to invent from scratch. Unify NXJ will let us concentrate on
building business applications for our customers, rather than inventing
technology." "Unify was
able to provide us with a proof of concept for our application in an
impressively short timeframe. What would have taken us several months,
Unify did in three days. This demonstrated the richness of Unify NXJ's
pre-built application functionality and the ability to use a broad team
of application developers," Nadesan added. "Unify NXJ
uniquely enables business application developers to effectively build
J2EE applications using a development paradigm that is familiar to a
client/server or mainframe development environment," said Dave
Glende, CTO of Unify. "With its features of event-driven programming,
familiar properties and controls, and data-aware components, Unify NXJ
significantly accelerates the migration of business application developers
to the J2EE platform. Unify NXJ greatly increases the effectiveness
of an IT organization by allowing an expanded focus on the delivery
of enterprise Web applications that drive business value." About Unify
