Business Wire, March 26, 1996

BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 1996--AT&T said today that it has implemented an indirect sales channel for AT&T NetWare Connect Service, and that more than 80 specially trained sales agents are now selling the service. The new sales agents, who underwent rigorous selection and training prior to selling AT&T NetWare Connect Service, are select Novell, Inc. Gold and Platinum resellers. By year-end their numbers are expected to grow to more than 350.

AT&T NetWare Connect Service allows businesses to expand their reach by extending local area network (LAN) services and applications beyond their traditional bounds. It combines AT&T's Worldwide Intelligent Network and several Novell technologies to enable businesses to tie LANs together into a wide area network (WAN), makes LAN resources available to remote and mobile users, and extends a business' LAN applications and information beyond the immediate enterprise to partners, suppliers, and customers.

Using AT&T NetWare Connect Service, businesses can minimize capital investment needed to build WANs, leverage investment in existing LANs and LAN applications, and avoid the burden of managing WANs by outsourcing their network management and complexity.

The indirect sales channel complements AT&T's direct sales force for AT&T NetWare Connect Service. Each channel focuses on the market segments for which it is best-suited, but both ators significant opportunities for opening new doors and increasing their service revenues," says Mike Grady, president of Gracon. "AT&T NetWare Connect Service is a natural fit for our business strategy that includes offering customers advanced wide-area network technology."
