Jacada Announces World's First Interface Server.

Business Editors

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2001

New Offering Enables Organizations to Separate User Interface from

Business Logic and Provides a Common Look and Feel for

New and Legacy Applications

Jacada Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCDA), the leading provider of enterprise user interface solutions, today announced the Jacada Interface Server, the world's first fully integrated user interface development and deployment environment.

The new offering provides a common user interface layer for both new application development and existing legacy systems, while enabling unlimited desktop integration and protecting organizations from changes in user interface standards and technologies.

Organizations can leverage the Jacada offering to modernize, re-engineer, and extend existing legacy functionality, empower enterprise developers to easily build modern user interfaces for new applications, as well as generate a consistent look-and-feel across new and existing applications.

Drawing on over a decade of experience building graphical and Web-based user interfaces for mainframe and midrange systems, the Jacada Interface Server is poised to meet a tremendous challenge facing Global 2000 companies. According to Jacada, interface standards and technologies have changed over 15 times in the last 20 years - from green screens and DOS in the `80s; to Windows, Java, and HTML in the `90s; and now to UIML and XHTML. IT organizations worldwide are spending excessive time and money adapting to each new interface technology, therefore businesses suffer from an inability to respond quickly to opportunities afforded by these new capabilities. As a result, most work environments have become a mosaic of different, non-integrated interface standards making it difficult to learn and use these systems and creating inefficiencies in worker productivity.

The Jacada Interface Server effectively separates the user interface layer from the application business logic layer, and generates whatever interface type is needed depending on user and device requirements. This multiple interface generation is accomplished from a single development tool and deployed through a single interface server.

"Regarding new application development, the Jacada Interface Server is a fundamental departure from the method in which developers are building enterprise applications today," Gary Holtzen, IS project leader at Safway Steel. "By providing organizations with a unified development and deployment environment that allows for total separation between core business logic and user interface presentation, the Jacada Interface Server offers unparalleled architectural agility in the face of constantly evolving business requirements."

In addition to announcing the general availability of the Jacada Interface Server in September 2001, Jacada is announcing the following new technologies:

      --  Support for XML transactions. The Jacada Interface Server adds
        the XML client to enable seamless and open integration of new
        and existing business logic with any third party application.
        This new client-type generation option will ship in September,
        and joins the existing open source code generation options
        including Java, Visual Basic and HTML.

      --  Support for new applications written in Java, COBOL and RPG.
        This new capability is currently in beta testing and will ship
        in Q4 of 2001.

      --  Support for new applications developed using contemporary
        development architectures including Web Services, Microsoft's
        .NET, and J2EE will be available in 2002.

All existing Jacada legacy extension product offerings are consolidated within the Jacada Interface server offering including Jacada for Visual Basic, Jacada for Java, Jacada for HTML, Jacada Innovator, and Jacada Connects.

"Just as the relational database management system revolutionized data management in the 1980s, the Jacada Interface Server separates the user interface layer from the business logic layer providing consistency across the enterprise," states Gideon Hollander, founder and CEO of Jacada. "As organizations undertake the migration to modern computing models, it is extremely important that the transition is incrementally staged. By insulating developers from ever-changing user interface standards and technologies and enabling highly functional legacy systems to coexist with newly developed applications in a common look-and-feel, the Jacada Interface Server is a solution that allows for a sure-footed path toward enterprise transformation."

Pricing for the Jacada Interface Server depends on individual configurations. Pricing starts at $4,500 per Interface Developer Kit and $30,000 per CPU (server) for deployment.
