Ericom Makes Enterprise Application Integration Easier Than Ever with New PowerTerm Host Publisher 3.6

Closter, NJ (February 19, 2002) - Ericom® Software, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise connectivity and e-Business solutions, today announced a major upgrade to its enterprise application integration software. PowerTerm® Host Publisher Version 3.6 speeds and simplifies the process of integrating legacy systems to the Web to support e-Business initiatives.

PowerTerm Host Publisher 3.6 now offers fast, automated application development, with automatic Java code generation, as well as new "wrappers" for seamless ODBC and .NET integration. Additionally, the product's new load balancing functionality enhances performance and reliability, while further streamlining efficiency and costs.

Expanded Development Options PowerTerm Host Publisher's patent-pending DBWrapper simplifies development by offering transparent access to legacy systems, using standard ODBC functionality. Organizations can easily access corporate data and business processes implemented on host systems as though they were stored procedures in a generic database. No special programming languages or codes are needed; developers just set up the connection to the legacy system as they would to any database and execute transactions as usual.

PowerTerm Host Publisher 3.6 also features a .NET Wrapper, enabling organizations to drive e-Business development using the new Microsoft® .NET technology platform. The .NET Wrapper offers a client-side component for developers to easily re-purpose legacy applications for use with new Internet technologies, through the .NET platform.
