CUPERTINO, Calif., May 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq:NETM), a software company that provides the fastest way to transform legacy applications into new Web-based business solutions, today announced they are offering Librados Adapters with royalty-free source code licensing to end-user customers. Enterprises will have direct access to the code for customization and reuse, as well as integration with their own solutions for resale, at no additional charge. NetManage will also provide product upgrades and consultation services for end-users that want to contribute their updated code.
"By changing how Librados is licensed, NetManage is providing enterprise users with an additional option to the traditional 'buy or build' scheme," said Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst at ZapThink. "Buying a solution might not provide the insight and flexibility needed to leverage an adapter down the line and building is always the more time-consuming option. NetManage Librados Adapters are a blend of the two -- customers can purchase a high quality, standards-based adapter and own the source code for reuse as well."
"We have heard the demand for greater flexibility to customize and reuse source code from our customers and NetManage is pleased to provide a low cost licensing option that eliminates significant pre-payments and continuing royalty payments," said Zvi Alon, chairman, president and CEO at NetManage, Inc. "Providing unlimited access and use of Librados Adapters' source code will not only speed the development of initial implementations but also provide our customers with the most cost effective option to accelerate future integration projects as code is reused."
NetManage Librados standards-based JCA Plus and .NET Adapters expose the functionality and data of back-end systems for simplified integration with any application server, Web server or stand-alone environment in real-time. Enterprise applications can be Web-enabled and integrated with business processes from other enterprise information systems with minimal programming effort. By offering unlimited free access to adapter source code, NetManage has further reduced the cost end-users confront in enterprise application integration. Librados Adapters are available on a two tier pricing scale based on company size.
