SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 1998--

Congruity Offers Customers Scalable Integration To Extend

Client/Server Apps To The Web

Congruity Corporation, a technology service provider, and InfoSpinner, a leading provider of application integration servers, today announced the only Web to legacy solution for Centura Team Developer (CTD) applications. Congruity will release the next version of inSiteCWDSIM(c), a software integration tool that connects legacy data sources from Centura Software to the Web through InfoSpinner's application integration server, ForeSite(TM).

"inSiteCWDSIM eliminates the need for developers to use complex interfaces and scripting languages to scale their applications to the Web," said Dale Anderson, president of Congruity Corporation. "Now, deployment of Web enabled applications administration and configuration is vastly reduced, and true scalability is achieved with very little effort. This is the best solution available to developers using CTD outside of completely rewriting their applications to scale to the Web."

There is a strong demand for applications that bring legacy systems to the Web, and the inSiteCWDSIM enhances one of the world's most powerful server architectures to allow businesses to get to the Web fast. The product's strength is in its focus on high-performance throughput, scalability and extensibility. It acts like glue between Centura applications built with Centura's Web Quick Objects and then deployed through Centura's App Console to use the high-scalability and integration features of InfoSpinner's ForeSite. Congruity developed the inSiteCWDSIM using ForeSite's SIM Developers Kit (SDK). InfoSpinner's SDK provides a COM-based framework to facilitate access to any other data source, which allows companies to build integration modules.

"This announcement continues to show that more and more companies are embracing the superior technology offered by InfoSpinner. InfoSpinner's ForeSite is the Web to legacy solution," said Keith Lowery, president and chief technology office at InfoSpinner. "With the announcement of inSiteCWDSIM, we are continuing to show the importance of integrating legacy applications with the Web. The bottom-line to enterprise IT managers is to maximize the value of existing data while leveraging the benefits of the Web. InfoSpinner is allowing the enterprise to use what they've got."

As an example, Santa Barbara Bank and Trust is incorporating Congruity's technology to integrate legacy systems, automate banking processes and modernize their systems to provide the bank with a competitive edge. "With the new version of inSiteCWDSIM, Santa Barbara Bank can make the Centura option a lot more attractive through ForeSite," said Scott Matthew, AVP, Enterprise Systems Manager, Santa Barbara Bank and Trust.

There are two core features of inSiteCWDSIM. The first is providing developers a simpler interface to integrate Centura Team Developer Applications within the ForeSite Integrator, and the second is allowing the interface to deploy Centura applications for a ForeSite Page Server on the Web.

Charity Silkebakken, Product Line Director for Development Tools at Centura Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CNTR), says "We're very excited to be able to help provide our developers more ways to integrate their data to the Web. Our partnership with Congruity is important to our continued success in the Web space."
