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."
