ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2002

Unify Corporation (OTC System:UNFY), a leading provider of business application platform solutions, today announced broad partner support from 25 leading companies for Unify NXJ(TM). Unify NXJ is a first-of-its kind business application platform that unifies, automates and orchestrates the building and extending of enterprise self-service applications using the Java 2 Enterprise Edition(TM) (J2EE) platform. Unify partners play an integral role in the design and testing of the platform.

Unify NXJ Design Partners include industry leading organizations including Triple G, MySoft Symphony, COMTEC, SE Software, Net Team, PFU, Cast & Crew, A.M. Associates, Sistemi, Axia, Computer House, eGroupBenefits, System Orico, Arsin Corporation, Capital Commerce, Wired Capital, A.I.R. and Tier Technologies. Building momentum for Unify NXJ, these new partners supplement Unify's existing 300 application partners around the world.

"We are exited to work with Unify and be a part of the Unify NXJ Design Partner program," said Gregory Palmer, president of Capital Commerce, an enterprise Java application development firm in Springfield, Va. "I have been looking for a solution that allows me to get applications built quickly in Java. With Unify NXJ, I was able to get a prototype application built in J2EE faster than with any other products I've looked at on the market. Unify NXJ automates a lot of the functionality that developers usually have to hand code when building applications, thus significantly reducing development time."

"From our review of Unify NXJ, we believe it will help us solve our clients' challenges of decreasing time to market and creating a richer, interactive end user experience," said Dale Lampson, vice president of business development, Arsin Corporation, a leading Bay Area solutions integrator and test automation firm. "Additionally, the training and technical support that we've received from Unify has been world-class. They are a very customer and partner friendly company, and we are looking forward to future projects with Unify."

"Over the past year, we have witnessed the pain our customers have faced in building highly interactive applications on the J2EE platform," said Dave Glende, vice president of products and CTO of Unify. "We purpose-built Unify NXJ to cater to the skills and expertise of mainstream IT organizations as they build a new generation of Web applications on the J2EE platform. With the support of our 25 design partners, we were able to ensure that the product delivers on its promise of allowing business application developers to deliver J2EE applications faster and with a rich, interactive user experience."

Unify NXJ augments the "click and wait" architecture of the Web with ActiveWeb(TM) capabilities. ActiveWeb quickly delivers and manages rich transactions and dynamic, event-driven processes providing a highly interactive user experience. Information delivery within Unify NXJ applications is dynamic and without page refreshes, offering the client/server application experience in a Web browser.

"Technically speaking, the biggest step forward is the ability to work within a single HTML page with master/detail relationships, as well as the capability of opening multiple database connections," commented Paolo Ascari, president of Web Corporate, a Computer House subsidiary based in Italy.
