What the industry is saying about Radnet WebShare.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 1997--

Value Added Resellers, Independent Software

Vendors, and Partners

"With WebShare 2.0s WYSIWYG editor for visual HTML editing, Radnet is leading the way toward visual, object-oriented document processing on the Web. The new visual environment allows developers to make changes and modifications in applications, and to distinguish components in an application more easily.

"WebShare 2.0 also allows a developer to modify more components than in earlier versions. For example, we can now control the HTML within tables in an application. We're also happy with the new ability to modify the sizes of panels within WebShare Designer. We can now expand the object browser window, making it easier to use.

"Replication is also a key feature for 2.0. It not only allows distributed operations to synchronize the servers, but also allows external users to maintain their own data locally. This means that a remote or mobile user can run the same WebShare application as the server, but work with a personalized, custom subset of the data. As this capability evolves, it will make mobile usage much more flexible." -- Eric Braun President TeamShare Solutions, Inc.

"The Radnet/Selectica strategic alliance draws from the expertise of both partners to help businesses take advantage of the Web. Together, we empower our channel of VARs (Value-Added Resellers), OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), systems integrators and ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) to deliver solutions that help companies run their businesses on the Web.

"Technologies integrated into WebShare applications as a result of the alliance will include Selecticas industry-leading SRx family of Java-based selection and configuration engine products, as well as its graphical model builder. Customers at web sites that feature these applications will be able to configure and price complex products such as networks, computers, cars and health care plans, extending true electronic commerce to a wide range of vertical and horizontal applications." -- Vas Bhandarkar Vice President of Marketing & Business Development Selectica, Inc.

"The Aventail and Radnet alliance brings together two leading technologies that enable corporations to effectively share internal groupware data in a highly secure manner. Groupware technology coupled with circuit-level security is an easily deployable solution that makes companies more productive.

"Aventail technology is based on a new standard protocol called SOCKS, which represents a higher level of security than other systems, and provides comprehensive authentication, encryption, access control, monitoring, and logging for internal and external networks. As a result of the Radnet/Aventail alliance, WebShare users will gain the benefits of Aventails S5 Product Series, which features SOCKS v5, an open-security protocol for Authenticated Firewall Traversal (AFT)." -- Evan Kaplan President and CEO Aventail Corporation

"We have prior experience with Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange and see the Intranet as a major new market as collaborative applications move onto the Web. Radnets WebShare is a perfect fit with our ImageSuite document imaging capabilities. We provide the expertise in imaging, and Radnet supplies the Intranet market as well as a strong set of channel partners. As those VARs, ISVs, OEMs and others develop for the Intranet, they'll be able to deliver our imaging capabilities to their end user customers, integrated into WebShare applications that are accessed from standard Web browsers. The resulting imaging functions will be transparent to the user and simply appear as part of the WebShare application." -- Rod Labby Marketing Director Computer Clearing House, Inc.

"We develop Intranet database applications and financial solutions for Fortune 500 companies and smaller customers, and are very pleased with WebShare 2.0. It provides an excellent WYSIWYG editor that's the best I've seen. Because you can tell immediately what you're doing, the WYSIWYG editor makes it easier to test and rearrange HTML pages. This improves programming speed and productivity, and reduces experimentation and error during development. Improvements in the macro editor have also made the tool much more productive." -- Steve Klitzing Senior Software Engineer/Web Developer Uptime Computer Solutions, Inc.

"WebShare 2.0's replication capabilities will be very useful for our customers that have distributed organizations with people in the field nationwide. With WebShare Mobile, their users will be able to dial-in and not only synchronize with the network, but also work off-line in the field with a `personal server' subset of their interactive applications. This will reduce expenses while simultaneously making mobile users much more productive.

"We're also very pleased with WebShare 2.0's integration of ActiveX and Java objects.

"We'll be building client objects for compound applications, and now we can depend on WebShare to persistently store those objects, making the process of working with ActiveX and Java that much easier." -- Roger Clark Project Manager Nubium Technology Group

"WebShare 2.0's replication capabilities are a major usability improvement, and we expect a wide range of organizations to make use of the WebShare mobile product to enhance the productivity of off-line users.

"We're also impressed with WebShare 2.0's state-of-the-art WYSIWYG editor. It greatly eases development by freeing the developer from worrying about HTML code. Now, one can work with HTML pages visually, significantly speeding the page layout process." -- Tom Varney Consultant Connexus Consulting Group

"WebShare Designer is an exceptionally easy development tool to use. We installed it on our NT server from CD and had the entire suite -- including the Spyglass Server SDK Web server and Sybase SQL Anywhere database -- up and working in only 20 minutes.

"WebShare was very quick to learn. By the end of the first day, we could modify the starter applications to tailor them to our needs, including creation of custom data fields, plus look and feel features like layout and logos. It's graphical interface is simple to use, especially for people with experience using other development tools. We appreciated the easy, drag-and-drop editing capabilities that eliminate the need to do database access programming.

"We've already done some WebShare development for outside the company, and plan to use it internally for our own business as well." -- Justin LaFayette Principal DWL Computer Systems, Inc.

"A lot of sale force automation solutions, particularly the proprietary ones, get in the way of running a business. That's why we're steering our clients toward Web-based solutions like WebShare. Since it uses the Web, it's low-cost to operate. It provides connectivity for all the client sites, including their field locations or mobile sales and support people. And the Web is simply the best communications mechanism. WebShare streamlines and simplifies the process of gathering, working and disseminating information. And it's very easy to customize Web- based applications. We've had a much easier time tweaking our WebShare application than we have in the past modifying a similar application built in Lotus Notes, which is a proprietary system and very difficult to change." -- Jeanne Lambert President TELESALES, Inc. Telesales consulting and outsourcing services

"It's very difficult to build a new software development business in competition with established firms that can dedicate a lot of resources to turning around projects quickly, but WebShare evens the playing field for us. WebShare allows a new organization to ramp up rapidly and compete effectively with the large shops.

"WebShare allows us to build on what we already know, so there's no steep learning curve. For example, the scripting language is very easy to learn for anyone who's used standard programming tools like Visual Basic or Visual FoxPro. With WebShare, user security and permissions are also easy to administrate. It's simple to create secure database access and define the forms and fields necessary to build real business applications for the Web.

"We're currently working on a commercial real estate application for one of our clients which allows his customers and prospective customers to view and analyze data about properties on the market. Once we showed our client what we could do with WebShare, he immediately saw that he could have a robust, secure, Web-based application for a low cost. It was an easy sell. WebShare's value is obvious." -- Dwight R. Davis, President & CEO C Soft Corporation

"We've just completed a WebShare-based collaborative document authoring application for one of the business units of a Fortune 10 corporation headquartered in Wilmington, DE. We're very impressed with Radnet's rapid development environment, which shortens the time it takes to complete projects significantly. Normally with a Web-based application, you have to create the Web front end, build your database tables, write the CGI scripts and connect the components of the whole application. Radnet allows us to perform that whole sequence of steps as a single operation that's virtually drag-and-drop. We can develop and implement full-function yet low-cost applications quickly, applications based on open Web standards that enable us to use virtually any database, any Web server." -- Jim Wessely, CEO Atlantic Document Services, Inc.

"Typical software.net customers understand the net and utilize it daily. They are looking for applications to leverage this technology. That's why we see Radnet's WebShare as a valuable addition to our product offerings.

"In most cases, our customers already have the key infrastructure -- high speed lines, Web servers and browsers in a corporate Intranet -- that enables an organization to benefit from WebShare's Web-based collaborative groupware applications. It's a perfect fit for our target demographic." -- Rob Lewis, Marketing Manager software.net URL: http://www.software.net

Radnet WebShare Users

"Using the WebShare starter applications, it took only about an hour to create a full threaded discussion group application. That includes WebShare's excellent graphical interface and backgrounds, headers, and logos customized the way we wanted them. It gives us advanced searching capabilities, a secure SQL database and the best graphical interface we've seen." -- Mark Donaho, Software Engineer Sperry-Sun Drilling Services, a division of Dresser Industries

"Large Internet content and activities providers with high-end Web sites need cost-effective groupware solutions that fall between Notes at the high end and less capable low end products. Radnet's WebShare fills that niche. It offers scaleable, effective solutions with fine-grained security controls." -- Lewis Larsen President Minerage, Inc.

Industry Analysts

"The Web is rapidly evolving from a simple communications model to a high-value application platform, with the help of products such as WebShare 2.0. Radnet's approach fills a great need for the entrepreneurial companies that are shifting their strategic application development to their Web infrastructure. WebShare customers and developers have been able to build open collaborative Web applications of compelling value in very short time frames." -- Geoffrey Bock Senior Consultant Patricia Seybold Group

"There's no question that all groupware will migrate to the Internet. IS managers are tired of being locked into one vendor; they want to be free to go for the best price/performance and products based on open standards. They're also tired of increasing product support costs, and want to decrease their training costs. By developing applications based on a Web browser, where everything's in a hyperlinked format, everyone's familiar with that. That certainly will decrease training costs. Internet-based groupware allows you to do that, because it's based on TCP/IP and all of the Web standards that no one really owns or controls. This is a huge incentive for IS managers, who can then mix and match different solutions. Many companies would like to outfit all employees with groupware applications, but often they cant afford it. If the groupware is Internet-based, the incremental cost of adding and supporting new seats is virtually zero." -- Brad Meinert Program Manager for Internet Opportunities INPUT IT Market Research

"The Internet is offering new opportunities for collaborative computing. Internet-based groupware such as Radnet's WebShare provides corps with a low-cost, high-return path to a collaborative environment. More than enterprise-wide, Internet groupware provides virtual enterprise-wide collaboration, by giving companies a way to easily expand their groupware environment to encompass remote and transient workers." -- Ian Campbell Director, Collaborative Technologies International Data Corporation

Technical Advisors

"Companies that want to deploy Web-based groupware don't need to rely upon Lotus Notes and Domino. Domino is chained to the past and Notes' proprietary technology. The Web is about open standards and rapid advances in technology. Radnet's WebShare is built on open industry standards and an underlying relational database. WebShare delivers most of the functionality of Notes quicker and at a fraction of the cost to design, deploy, and maintain applications and train users." -- Gordon Bell, Senior Researcher Microsoft Corporation Former V.P. of Engineering, Digital Equipment Corp. Chairman, Radnet Technical Advisory Board
