News Release New York Life Selects ON Technology Software to Manage Workstations Remotely and Automate Windows 2000 Roll-Out Nation's Largest Mutual Life Insurance Company Chooses ON Command CCM® Software to Enhance Customer Service, Reduce IT Costs Waltham, MA (July 11, 2002)- - ON Technology Corporation (NASDAQ:ONTC), a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure management solutions, today announced that New York Life Insurance Company has chosen its ON Command CCM® software to manage as many as 15,000 mission-critical workstations for employees, agents and brokers in more than 200 U.S. locations. New York Life is also using ON's innovative management solution to enhance its enterprise-wide roll-out of Windows® 2000 and provide unattended migration of end-user data and personality settings. New York Life, a Fortune 100 company, is the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States.
Unlike conventional management solutions that can only be used to deploy applications and content, ON Command CCM is the only enterprise-class system that offers end-to-end lifecycle management, including unattended operating system deployments and one-click disaster recovery for remote workstations.
By instantaneously pushing operating systems, applications and updated content over New York Life's existing network infrastructure - from centralized servers - ON Command CCM eliminates the need for technicians to travel to remote branch locations to install software or rebuild malfunctioning systems. As a result, ON's advanced solution significantly reduces IT costs, minimizes downtime for mission-critical workstations, and provides a powerful management infrastructure for ongoing updates and Help Desk support that enhance market responsiveness and customer service. "We are pleased to welcome New York Life, a leader in the financial services industry, to the ON Technology family of enterprise customers," said Robert L. Doretti, Chairman, President and CEO of ON Technology. "Our success in this very competitive industry is based on our ability to reduce IT costs substantially, while offering other important benefits, such as rapid disaster recovery. We look forward to providing New York Life with world-class software and services that provide a high return on investment in support of their strategic technology initiatives."
