BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 1999--

SuperNova, providers of reliable and adaptable software solutions for enterprise application development and integration, and Unisys Corporation today announced support and interoperability between the Unisys Universal Repository (UREP) and SuperNova's application integration products.

The two companies will cooperate to offer Unisys customers and partners SuperNova's Process Integrator product, which now supports the Unisys UREP object repository.

Customers utilizing Unisys UREP and SuperNova's Process Integrator will now be able to visually integrate their legacy and modern applications (custom or packaged) much faster and without extensive development efforts.

Customers can combine the strengths of UREP as a component repository with the cross-platform application integration, SAP R/3 connectivity and component assembly capabilities of SuperNova.

"SuperNova is a technology leader in providing cross-platform application integration and deployment tools. SuperNova's support of UREP further establishes UREP's position as the ideal repository for enterprise application development and integration," said Art Sarno, marketing director, object management program office, Unisys Computer Systems.

"Unisys legacy application and data integration solutions are complementary to SuperNova's core competency, which is cross-platform process and data integration," said Meyar Sheik, vice president of worldwide marketing and strategic alliances at SuperNova. "We are pleased to support UREP, and our customers and partners will benefit enormously from our close partnership with Unisys."

SuperNova Process Integrator is a visual integration tool for connecting legacy, packaged and web applications. Process Integrator is completely platform-, data source-, and development tool-independent and designed for rapid integration and deployment of enterprise-wide, composite applications.

With Process Integrator, enterprise developers and integrators can now use UREP as a central repository for integrating SAP R/3 data and processes with existing and new web applications developed in Microsoft Visual Studio, as well as Java.

Process Integrator is part of SuperNova's Enterprise Application Development and Integration Suite.

The suite, which consists of prebuilt adapters and connectors, integration tools and a powerful integration platform called the Universal Integration Engine (UIE), provides transparent connectivity to over 20 platforms and operating systems, 25 databases and data sources and industry-standard middleware.

Unisys Universal Repository (UREP) is a fully object-oriented repository that supports the sharing of information across development tools, made possible by an extensible object-oriented meta model, versioning services, configuration management and team-based development approaches ideal for supporting large projects.

Part of the Unisys Object Management program, UREP is being used by ISVs and large corporations in various domains such as client/server and object development environments, data warehousing, metadata management and business object management.
