New World Sells an i5/OS Solution–And 13 More for Windows

December 4, 2007 Alex Woodie

Like many ISVs, government software provider New World Systems offers versions of its applications that run on i5/OS and Windows, enabling it to meet the needs of customers with different server preferences. While the i5/OS version of its Logos and Aegis suites of software used to be pretty popular among county and city governments, lately the Windows-based versions of those products have been about 13 times more popular.

New World, a privately held company based in Troy Michigan, is very good about posting new customer wins on its Web site (unlike some ISVs). From the beginning of October to the end of November, the company ran 14 such announcements. However, out of those customers, only one–the city of Denham Springs, Louisiana–bought the i5/OS version of the Logos public administrators suite or the Aegis public safety suite.

The remaining customers bought either the Logos.NET or Aegis.NET offerings, including the cities of Georgetown, South Carolina; Urbandale, Iowa; Brunswick, Georgia; New Bern, North Carolina; Berkeley, California; Newton, North Carolina, and Commerce, California; the counties of Bradford, Pennsylvania; Brown, Wisconsin; Sandusky, Ohio; Lee, Florida; Craven, North Carolina; and the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

In fact, some of the customers upgraded to Logos.NET to replace their Logos/400 systems, including the cities of Georgetown and Urbandale. In both cases, the customers cited its users’ greater familiarity with graphical interfaces as a key differentiator compared to its older green-screen software.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
