Corporate and Institutional Banking Division Leverages ON Technology Solution to Provide Reliability, Flexibility and Speed for Vital Currency Trading Applications

WALTHAM, MA (July 24, 2003) - ON Technology (NASDAQ:ONTC), a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure management solutions, today announced that the Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) division of National Australia Bank Limited has expanded its use of ON Technology's management solution throughout CIB's 20 global locations, including locations in Australia, London, and New York City. The bank recently placed a repeat order for add-on licenses of ON's management solution during ON Technology's second quarter.

National Australia Bank (the National), ranked as one of the worldÂ’s top 50 financial services companies by revenue according to Fortune Magazine, is using the ON Technology solution to manage all Windows clients and servers across CIBÂ’s global operations. ON Technology worked with Australian-based reseller, MS Integration, to establish the ON Technology management infrastructure across CIBÂ’s network environment worldwide.

CIB has achieved large-scale global deployment of Microsoft Windows® XP, with further deployment scheduled this year. Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP workstations, as well as Windows Terminal Servers (WTS), Web Servers and Application Servers, are all deployed by the ON Technology infrastructure. CIB looked to ON Technology’s product suite to provide a reliable solution with the robustness to support CIB’s growing needs. The ON solution was instrumental in CIB’s earlier move from UNIX to NT 4.0 and its recent migration to XP.

Paul Hopson, Head of Infrastructure, CIB, National Australia Bank said, “Using ON Technology’s management solution has allowed us to remotely manage all our laptops and desktops including critical dealing room (currency trading) applications. We chose the ON solution as it provides us with the reliability and flexibility that are paramount when dealing with such critical applications. The basic nature of the banking environment means that both reliability and speed is vital in achieving high levels of service. ON’s management suite allows us to manage our continually changing environment in a controlled and timely manner.”

Sam Hansen, Project Manager, MS Integration said, “We are delighted to announce the implementation of ON Technology’s advanced solution within the National. We want to introduce our clients to quality products that save both time and money. We are working across our locations to implement the ON solution as part of CIB’s standardization of systems.”

“ON Technology is working closely with our long-time partner, MS Integration, and with the National to ensure the bank has a robust and reliable solution to manage its currency trading applications,” said Phil Neray, Vice-President of Marketing, ON Technology. “Our open and scalable solution gives the National consistency and flexibility as it expands within international financial markets.”
