  • NetManage Boosts Partner Sales Channel by 30 Percent

    September 17, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Host access and legacy application transformation software maker NetManage is a lot smaller than its rival, Attachmate, but it is hoping that there is some strength in numbers.

    Between January and June of this year, NetManage has added 14 new channel partners to help it peddle its products to end user customers, an increase of 30 percent and getting it close to 50 partners worldwide. As we all know, the channel is how most things in the midrange get sold, whether it is the IBM midrange, the Hewlett-Packard midrange, or the Sun Microsystems midrange.

    “Mid-market customers rely on trusted resellers to help them navigate important technology hurdles such as systems integration. NetManage’s ability to attract several new channel partners during the first half of the year indicates the reputation and high quality of our suite of products,” bragged Zvi Alon, chairman, president, and chief executive officer at NetManage. “Partnering with leading IT solution providers gives NetManage access to additional geographies and markets. NetManage will continue to work with excellent channel partners to answer the integration needs of mid-market and enterprise end-users.”

    New NetManage partners singled out by name include CLS Enterprises, of Oceanside, California; Database Republic, of Oregon House, California; Nastel Technologies, of Melville, New York; and TechSys Software Services, of Coppell, Texas.

    NetManage has over 10,000 customers and over 30 million end users worldwide making use of its RUMBA host access or OnWeb and Librados legacy transformation products. NetManage is one of the few publicly traded companies in the i5/OS and OS/400 market, and it is headquartered in Cupertino, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. In the wake of the triple merger between Attachmate, WRQ, and NetIQ, which was funded by private equity cash, NetManage has turned down at least two offers to be taken private. In the first quarter, NetManage saw sales decline by 9 percent to $7.7 million, and it booked a loss of $3.6 million. The company exited the quarter with $28.9 million in cash, and as we go to press on Friday, the company has a market capitalization of $41.5 million. In early 2003, the company’s value, as assessed by the Nasdaq market, was nearly three times that. But back then, NetManage was generating more revenue, was profitable, and Attachmate was not looming so large.

    Clearly, expanding its sales channel is a key to NetManage’s return to profitability.

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
