NetManage Teams with U.S. Robotics® to Provide Complete
Mobile Connectivity
ECCO® Pro 4.0 and PalmPilotTM Provide Single-Source
Information Integration
CUPERTINO, Calif.- March 10, 1997 - NetManage, Inc. (NASDAQ:
NETM) today announced the expansion of its relationship with U.S.
Robotics®. NetManage's ECCO® Pro 4.0, the number-1-rated
personal and workgroup information management system, now instantly
updates information on the new line of U.S. Robotics'
PalmPilotTM, a leading handheld computer.
A single click of the PalmPilot cradle's HotSync button allows
mobile users to instantly transfer and update information from ECCO
Pro to PalmPilot. Further, ECCO Pro provides the industry's most
comprehensive integration with PalmPilot, including to-do's,
appointments, memos, and contact management. This unprecedented
level of integration enables mobile users to have complete
connectivity to their personal and business information system from
one single source.
"The addition of PalmPilot connectivity lets ECCO users carry all
their vital personal information in their pocket," said Ed Colligan,
vice president of marketing for Palm Computing, Inc., a subsidiary
of U.S. Robotics. "PalmPilot's one-button synchronization with ECCO
Pro keeps the work force organized and productive, both in the
office and on the road."
ECCO Pro is recognized as the leading information manager on the
market today, with more than 18 industry awards to its credit,
including PC Magazine's Product of the Year. ECCO Pro enables users
to manage such diverse information sources as e-mail, documents, and
the Internet from a single application. As a result, it saves
workgroups and individuals time and enhances their productivity.
"PalmPilot has set the standard for integration with the Windows
desktop," said Bob Lawton, vice president of emerging technology
marketing for NetManage. "ECCO Pro has set the standard for
integration with handheld devices. It's a natural that two leaders
work together to bring a comprehensive information management
solution to mobile professionals."
