Touchtone Releases Full Featured Web-to-Host ThinView® and Establishes Strategic Partners Program

November 15, 1999 – Costa Mesa, CA – Touchtone Corporation, developer and publisher of software solutions for the IBM AS/400, announced today the first shipments of the full-featured version of ThinView, a Web-to-host solution, and the creation of the ThinView Strategic Partner Network.

ThinView is a Java-based, e-business connectivity tool that allows secure Web browser access to AS/400 applications and data. With no programming required, ThinView’s unique "set up wizards" quickly produce easy-to-use applets for 5250 terminal emulation, viewing and printing reports, and database applications.

"We responded to market feedback by adding emulation and report viewing and printing capabilities" said Reza Saraf, Touchtone founder and CEO. "This significantly increases the power of ThinView, and strengthens it as an e-business solution." The 100% Java solution provides authorized employees, customers or other business partners, browser access to the AS/400 in a true thin client environment. Host applications are quickly extended to the Web, paper and email reports can be eliminated, and current database information is made available to authorized clients.

Pat Flynn, president, added, "Touchtone has created a Strategic Partners Program to introduce ThinView through a worldwide network of software partner resellers, and we have now established initial domestic and international partnerships." He continued, "ThinView capabilities are significant Internet or intranet solutions, and leveraging existing relationships between resellers and their AS/400 installations results in a win for everyone."

Touchtone Corporation has been an AS/400 software solutions developer since 1991, and currently has a significant installation base for its QuestView AS/400 database software tool. Wintouch, a browser-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is currently in beta test. Additional product or Strategic Partners Program information can be obtained at ThinView.com.

Wintouch, ThinView and QuestView are registered trademarks of Touchtone Corporation.
