Rova Software Announces First Network Independent Remote Access Software Solution

Rova Enterprise Reduces the Cost and Complexity for Enterprises to Deploy Remote Access Services

New York City, NY, April 21, 2000 - Rova Software, an emerging provider of remote access software, announced today general availability of its flagship solution, Rova Enterprise. Rova has successfully completed beta testing of Rova Enterprise that took place over the last six months. Rova, founded in 1995 as a custom provider of applications and solutions for large enterprise accounts, decided to focus exclusively on remote access software when it saw the need for an easy to use, network independent solution that was not available in the market.

"We believe the needs of large enterprise accounts are not being met by carriers and network aggregators who require these firms to relinquish too much control of their remote access solution", commented Joe Bronowich, CEO of Rova. "By using a proprietary client, carriers and aggregators make it difficult for companies to add features and specific network coverage in areas critical to the success of their remote access programs. Why allow a network provider to control the desktop? With Rova Enterprise, firms now can change access providers as easily as they change long distance providers on their PBX."

Rova Enterprise is the only true network independent solution on the market today. Enterprise accounts select and manage their own virtual network and are not limited to a single carrier or aggregator network. With Rova Enterprise, the firm itself can decide who provides the network that best meets its coverage, quality and pricing requirements. As importantly, companies can now retain their negotiating power over carriers when their remote access contract is up for renewal or change as their client will no longer need to be replaced with Rova Enterprise.

Rova Enterprise consists of an easy-to-use desktop client and a comprehensive management portal. For solution specifications and details, please download the accompanying Rova Enterprise datasheet.
