AttachmateWRQ Enhances Multi-Host Emulation Offering; Reinforces 20-Year Commitment to Airlines and Travel Industries

Release of INFOConnect Enterprise Edition for Airlines v8.1 Increases Productivity and Performance for Airline and Travel Customers

SEATTLE, April 19, 2006 — AttachmateWRQ today announced the availability of INFOConnect Enterprise Edition for Airlines v8.1, a high-performance, multi-host emulation product that helps travel organizations extend the value of mainframe applications by improving information flow, enhancing user productivity, and lowering total cost of ownership. Featuring a comprehensive set of management and productivity features, the new offering reaffirms the Company’s commitment to delivering new and innovative solutions to help airline and travel customers save time and money on every transaction.

In today’s highly competitive travel industry, the demand for high-performance, scalable, and robust IT solutions has never been greater. As the only multi-host airlines/travel solution that provides productivity-focused emulation that can be centrally managed from anywhere in the network, INFOConnect uniquely helps airline and travel industry customers extend the value of mainframe applications.

“With more than 20 years of experience working with airline and travel organizations, AttachmateWRQ understands, and is committed to meeting, the unique demands of this industry,” said Randy Robinson, senior vice president of products and marketing at AttachmateWRQ. “The latest release of INFOConnect underscores our commitment to providing customers with new and innovative ways to get the most out of their investment in emulation, helping them save time and money on each transaction every day.”

AttachmateWRQ INFOConnect Enterprise Edition for Airlines is a feature-rich emulation product designed expressly for the airline and travel industry. Customers, including Continental Airlines and Lufthansa Systems, count on INFOConnect’s comprehensive management and productivity features to lower costs, boost user productivity and maximize ROI.

The new offering allows customers to eliminate errors and redundancies by combining emulation technology with a comprehensive, productivity-focused feature set comparable to that found in Microsoft Office applications, including:

  • Auto Expand – Lets users pre-set acronyms or shortcuts for long words, phrases, or complex repeat commands.
  • Auto Complete – Recalls what users type and automatically makes suggestions to auto-populate fields as it learns common commands that are repeated, saving keystrokes and valuable time.
  • Recent Typing – Lets users quickly view and select repeat words and commands, eliminating the need to manually re-enter information and reducing redundancies.
  • Screen History – Enables users to view, copy and past information from previous screens into current active screens with the ease of a mouse click.
  • Scratch Pad – Ideal for customer service-centric organizations; lets users take notes as they work with their host applications.
  • Spell Check – Helps eliminate user errors with fully configurable spell check features.

INFOConnect Enterprise Edition for Airlines v8.1, which is currently available, also provides the following key features and user benefits:

  • Secure web-based centralized configuration, management, and deployment of host access clients
  • Productivity features, including desktop customization, data integration, and intelligent navigation
  • Support for concurrent, multiple host sessions
  • Print and transaction router with bi-directional print messaging for guaranteed print delivery
