News Release ON Technology Announces 100th New European Customer in 2002; Wins "Best Windows 2000 Product" Award Leading European companies including Visa International, Commerzbank, Toyota Motorsports, DaimlerChrysler, Hiscox Insurance, Getronics, Siemens Transit Telematic Systems AG and Swedish Courts select ON Technology's advanced management solution to reduce IT costs and increase customer satisfaction Waltham, MA (October 10, 2002)- - ON Technology Corporation (NASDAQ:ONTC), a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure management solutions, today announced it has received its 100th new European customer order this year from Switzerland-based Siemens Transit Telematic Systems AG. The company also announced that it was named winner of the "Best Windows 2000 Third-Party Product" category by the Institute for International Research.
For example, the Northern German Broadcasting Association (NDR) is using ON Command CCM to manage and deploy Microsoft Windows XP, along with business-critical broadcasting applications, to 5,000 PCs in five separate locations across Germany. According to Frank Cordes, Project Manager for NDR, the ON management solution reduces the company's overall IT costs while improving service quality and operational security. Furthermore, ON's automated inventory solution provides additional savings by monitoring actual end-user software usage in order to minimize software licensing costs. 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 disaster recovery. ON Command CCM also allows globally-distributed enterprises to manage all of their workstations from a single centralized console, including WAN-connected remote or mobile workstations as well as LAN-connected systems in corporate facilities. Chairman, President and CEO Robert L. Doretti commented, "Europe has always been an important part of our business and we are particularly pleased by the new and increasingly large orders from customers in some of our fastest growing markets. We have also seen an increase in customer orders from partners and resellers, specifically from our strategic partners in Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Our European success, and our growth in North America, has us well positioned for continued revenue growth during 2002." ON Command CCM was also named 2002 winner of the "Best Windows 2000 Third-Party Product" category by the Institute for International Research. The Institute sponsors an NT Forum and annually recognizes innovative products that have made a significant impact on IT administration. This year, ON Command CCM was chosen for its high customer satisfaction, rapid implementation cycle, and innovative capabilities for centralized configuration management. "We are pleased to welcome Accor North America, a leader in the hospitality industry, to the ON Technology family of enterprise customers," said Robert L. Doretti, Chairman, President and CEO of ON Technology. "We look forward to providing Accor with world-class software and services that provide rapid return on investment in support of their strategic technology initiatives."
