Booth 31

LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2003

Xbridge Systems, the authority on mainframe data access, will demonstrate real-time Windows-to-mainframe data-access at the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Navy and Marine Corps Intranet Industry Symposium June 16-19 at the New Orleans Sheraton (booth 31).

Xbridge Host Data Connect(TM), the company's flagship product, enables Windows(R), Web and mobile applications to quickly and securely access virtually all OS/390(R) and z/OS(TM) mainframe data (VSAM, QSAM, DB2 and IMS DB) and to see the data in the format of the requesting application (e.g., Excel), all in real time.

"A great deal of government data is in mainframes and access to real-time information is critical to help defeat terrorism," said Ron Hankison, president and CEO of Xbridge Systems. "Our goal is to show government organizations how they can access that data and work it with on their PCs, in real time. This enables them to quickly and easily spot 'abnormal' activities, information that can make the world of difference in the fight against terrorism."
