SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2001

Unify Corporation (OTC System: UNFY), a leading provider of software for the development and deployment of business application solutions, today announced the immediate availability of ACCELL(R)/Web. A new product in the Unify ACCELL solutions suite, ACCELL/Web allows customers to create fully functional Web applications from their existing ACCELL/SQL-based applications with little or no changes to their original application code.

"ACCELL/Web is expressly designed for our customers seeking to transform ACCELL/SQL applications into dynamic Web applications without having to re-engineer their original application," said Dave Glende, vice president of products and CTO of Unify. "ACCELL/Web provides the fastest way to take these enterprise applications to browser-based computing and the Internet, thereby helping customers streamline business processes and save thousands in immediate and on-going development costs."

The cost savings in using ACCELL/Web stems from the automatic application conversion and runtime functionality included with the product. Applications containing hundreds or even thousands of forms are converted in minutes using ACCELL/Web and can be deployed in a matter of days or weeks. Additionally, the ACCELL/Web and ACCELL/SQL applications share the same source code base, minimizing customers' business risks as well as on-going maintenance costs.

Combining the best of existing business logic and new technologies, ACCELL/Web acts as a bridge between ACCELL/SQL-based applications and the Java platform. Using Java 2 Enterprise Edition Platform (J2EE) technologies, ACCELL/Web translates ACCELL/SQL forms into JavaServer Pages(TM) (JSP) which can then be further enhanced and customized using JavaScript, HTML and the ACCELL/Web Class Library. The generated JSP-based forms feature full Web application functionality that is virtually identical to that of the original ACCELL/SQL application, thereby eliminating costly end-user retraining.

Unify eWave Engine, the Company's embeddable Java application server, is included as a key component of the ACCELL/Web Application Server. Unify eWave Engine provides the required Web server integration, as well as the capabilities necessary to drive and manage the dynamic Web content and end-user interaction.

Platform and Availability

ACCELL/Web, available for Solaris and Linux, is immediately available for purchase from Unify by calling 800/248-6439 or e-mail [e-mail].
