Electronics Giant Banks on VISION for Building Business-Critical Applications

SAN JOSE, Calif. June 4, 1997 Unify Corporation (NASDAQ: UNFY), a leading provider of client/server software solutions for the development, deployment, and management of business-critical applications for the Internet, announced that Pioneer Electronics, based in Tokorozawa, Japan, has chosen its VISION product as a key development tool. Pioneer, a world leader in entertainment and industrial electronics, is using VISION internally to build a complex system known as the Electronic Circuit Design System, allowing engineers to closely monitor and track circuit design data. 

Pioneer's Electronic Circuit Design System leverages Unify's VISION product to create a highly sophisticated, distributed application that analyzes data from a CAD system. The application enables Windows and Unix clients, utilizing VISION's built-in CORBA-based middleware, to communicate with shared application components running on multiple HP servers, and simultaneously accessing and integrating data from DB2, Unify2000, and Oracle databases. 

Pioneer Electronics' future plans include deploying its existing VISION applications to the Web using Unify's VISION/Web product. The Unify VISION, VISION/Web solutions are an integrated set of object-oriented tools and services for developing, deploying and managing high-end, transaction-based Internet applications. Unify VISION, VISION/Web deliver complete, integrated, Java-based client/server solutions that enable deployment of the same application on LANs and the Internet without a need for additional programming. 

"We're pleased to have Pioneer Electronics' vote of confidence in our high-end VISION solution for building a business-critical application that is such an important component to their continued success," says Carla Schneiderman, vice president of worldwide marketing at Unify. "More and more Global 1000 companies are turning to solutions that allow them to quickly adapt to rapidly changing business needs. This is exactly where Unify's VISION, VISION/Web solutions play best. VISION, VISION/Web's component-based architecture allows developers to quickly deploy complex, distributed IT systems for Web and non-Web environments to deliver on evolving business needs."
