Enterprise Terminal Emulator Provides Up to 83% Cost Savings

Atlanta on 9 October 2006

Seagull Software (AEX: SEAGULL), a leading provider of high-performance solutions that transform legacy business applications into service-oriented architecture (SOA) assets, announced general availability of Version 4.0 of its BlueZone terminal emulator.

“BlueZone 4.0 is the newest release of our enterprise terminal emulation solution that is being offered at less than half of competitors’ prices,” said Don Addington, CEO and president of Seagull Software. “Our customers have achieved fantastic cost savings by switching from other emulators to Seagull Software’s BlueZone solution.”

BlueZone 4.0 is a faster, thinner terminal emulator for mainframes, System i5 and UNIX applications. Each BlueZone license includes support for 3270, 5250, VT and Secure FTP. The product is MicroSoft Windows XP Gold certified. Many BlueZone users have switched from Attachmate EXTRA! and Reflection, IBM Personal Communications, NetManage Rumba and Hummingbird Host Explorer.

New features in BlueZone 4.0 include:

  • Internationalization of the emulator, which now includes German, French, Dutch and Japanese language versions
  • User interface re-designed to Windows XP standards
  • New “Web-to-host” wizard
    • Easily replace existing emulators
    • Configure a session while on the Web server
    • Built-in Web server

BlueZone is one of several application access and integration solutions from Seagull Software. The company specializes in non-invasive solutions for transforming domain-rich legacy applications into Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) assets. Because all BlueZone customers are actively using legacy applications, they are ideal candidates for Seagull Software’s LegaSuite® integration, GUI and workflow solutions.

“A growing number of BlueZone customers rely on Seagull Software to help them migrate their legacy applications to a more flexible service oriented architecture,” commented Mr. Addington. “They like having one vendor that can support all of their legacy access and integration needs.”
