Zephyr and NST Partner to Displace Attachmate for Host Access in Australia and Southeast Asia
Zephyr is pleased to announce that NST Worldwide, located in Sydney, Australia, will begin distribution of the Zephyr PASSPORT products in Australia and Southeast Asia. With a strong knowledge of terminal emulation and network connectivity, NST is an ideal partner to sell and support the Zephyr products in this growing region of the world.
(PRWEB) February 28, 2004
NST and Zephyr will target Attachmate customers in Australia and Southeast Asia that are migrating to Windows XP and 2000 and want to replace their EXTRA!® terminal emulation with a less expensive, but Attachmate compatible, IP-based host access suite. Attachmate occupies the number one position in the regional market for terminal emulation.
"Zephyr has been very successful in displacing Attachmate in a long list of U. S. accounts, including companies like Merrill Lynch, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Banner Health, BancorpSouth, Capital Blue Cross, Cessna Aircraft, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Huntington Banks, Jefferson Pilot, Minnesota Life, Nationwide Insurance, Otis Elevator, Provident Bank and many others. We want to see this same success in Southeast Asia and look to NST to help us reach our goals", said Gregg Ledford, co-founder and President, Zephyr Development Corporation.
"The web-based business model of Zephyr lets them offer high quality host access solutions at a much lower cost than traditional vendors. Using the web to attract clients, distribute the software and offer 24 x 7 support, is definitely the way of the future. We're very excited about partnering with them", commented Nigel Anderson, NST Managing Director. "NST will add the critical local support Zephyr needs to gain entry into the accounts running Attachmate EXTRA!®".
In addition to Australasia, NST will support clients in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Singapore.
