News Release ON Technology and Centennial
Software Team Up Integrated Solution Provides Ideal
Platform Waltham, MA, November 8, 2000 – ON Technology (NASDAQ: ONTC), a leading provider of remote software delivery solutions, today announced that it is now offering Centennial Discovery™ to help organizations manage, track, and reduce the costs of their technology assets and complement its flagship product, ON Command CCM™. Centennial Discovery is a next-generation network inventory tool that details what IT assets a company has, where they're physically located, how they're configured, and when changes are made to them. ON Command CCM has been judged by industry analysts, reviewers, enterprise IT managers and service providers as the best unattended solution for remotely delivering business-critical software across the extended enterprise. Centennial Discovery is ideally suited for identifying all machines on the network and creating target deployment groups for remote software delivery. For example, an organization planning a Windows 2000 migration would use Centennial Discovery to identify all PCs that are W2K-compliant -- based on minimum processor, memory and hard drive requirements -- and then use ON Command CCM to rebuild all PCs in the target group with Windows 2000 and associated applications. ON Command CCM can then be used to manage the PCs on an ongoing basis and automatically deploy updates to operating systems, applications, configuration settings, and virus signature files. "Centennial Discovery fits our strategy of offering customers a choice of best-of-breed solutions," said Phil Neray, Vice-President of Marketing, ON Technology. "In comparison, traditional desktop management suites oblige customers to accept bundled functions with weaker functionality. Centennial Discovery is fast, innovative, and extremely easy-to-use, and we're proud to be offering it alongside ON Command CCM." ON now offers IT organizations and Management Service Providers (MSPs) a complete family of best-of-breed solutions consisting of: ON Command CCM for remote software delivery; ON Command Remote™ for remote control and Help Desk troubleshooting; and Centennial Discovery for inventory tracking. Leading IT industry analysts have identified these three functions as critical elements of a comprehensive management strategy based on "Best Practices". "Network-based inventories using Centennial Discovery can significantly reduce the time and cost of an IT audit and can also make regularly scheduled inventories feasible, giving IT managers more up-to-date information," said Suzanne Sliter, General Manager of Centennial Software. "Centennial's patent-pending LANProbe technology is also unique in determining the physical location of devices, combining the advantages of both a physical and network inventory."
