Business Editors & High-Tech Writers

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2000

Corporate Software & Technologies (CS&T) today announced the launch of a migration program for Netscape Calendar. In the wake of the Sun-Netscape Alliance decision to discontinue Netscape Calendar -- a product based on CS&T's renowned calendaring technology -- CS&T is offering Netscape customers a specially priced package to migrate to its CorporateTime(R) solution.

CS&T's migration program provides a clean and easy transition from Netscape Calendar to CorporateTime. Customers benefit from a feature-rich calendaring solution that includes native clients, web clients, Outlook Connector, PDA synchronization tools and support for wireless devices. Netscape customers retain the familiar look and feel of Netscape Calendar while gaining access to CS&T's personalized support services, on-site technical consulting and training courses.

"Following Sun-Netscape's decision, their customers started calling us for help," said Andre Courtemanche, president and CEO of CS&T. "Because Netscape Calendar is based on our technology, it made sense for us to offer a package that lets customers continue with our product. With this program, customers won't have to worry about the uncertainty and substantial investments that come with a new calendaring infrastructure."

System administrators switching to CorporateTime recognize the value of staying with the scalable, reliable architecture that powers large-scale calendar deployments worldwide. Furthermore, CS&T's focus on standards-based development assures easy integration and guarantees the potential for growth in an existing infrastructure. According to Sid Wilroy of Transmeta Corporation in Santa Clara, Calif., "CorporateTime was the obvious choice. It fits perfectly and is a transparent replacement for Netscape Calendar. We knew this technology was good -- now we can benefit from CS&T's ongoing development of the software."

Wilroy said he had evaluated other calendaring alternatives but found nothing matched the functionality of CorporateTime. "CS&T's technology and support is an unbeatable combination," he said. "We didn't have to compromise. They've got the whole package."

The migration process from Netscape Calendar Server to CorporateTime Server(TM) is quick and does not involve a complicated database conversion. "The migration only took two hours, and the new system came up perfectly,"said Vicki Lonell Hain, Calendar Administrator for University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "If I had any questions at all, CS&T support was there to help me. The conversion was amazingly easy. Our users don't even know any changes took place!"

CS&T's established reputation in calendaring and scheduling makes all the difference for Netscape customers concerned about the unclear roadmap and unproven scalability of alternate solutions. "Our product portfolio is second to none," said Courtemanche. "CS&T's track record for providing best-of-breed solutions to the calendaring world speaks for itself."

This program is in effect immediately. For more information contact [e-mail].
