Business Wire, Sept 14, 1998

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1998--Inprise Corporation (Nasdaq:INPR), a premier provider of software and services to leading enterprises, today announced the Inprise DCE-CORBA Bridge, a seamless and secure integration solution that gives corporations an easy way to Web-enable their existing DCE-based applications for electronic commerce. The product will make its debut this week at the Javits convention center during the annual Financial Technology Expo, the leading tradeshow for IT executives in the banking and financial-services industries.

"Enterprises in this vertical sector are depending on the customer service benefits and strategic advantages that CORBA-based Internet technology brings to their businesses. At the same time, they need to maintain the value, reliability, and security of their DCE-based legacy environments," said Marc H. Rudov, Inprise vice president of enterprise marketing. "The Inprise DCE-CORBA Bridge is a secure and cost-effective solution that addresses both these challenges."

Hundreds of global organizations have based their business-critical enterprise applications on Inprise's DCE and CORBA solutions, including many of the world's leading banking and financial institutions, such as Bank of America, Barclaycard, Charles Schwab & Co., Credit Suisse, Daiwa Securities Ltd., First National Bank of Chicago, First Union Bank, Merrill Lynch, NationsBank, Sanford Bernstein & Co., State Street Bank, T.
