                           POLYCENTER Netview Forum


FORUM OVERVIEW              

    Digital has announced  a  relationship  with  IBM  which  includes  the
    licensing  of  NetView/6000  management  software, joint engineering and
    development, a combined associates (ISV) program, and  joint  marketing.

    The Technology Integration Group (TIG) in Valbonne has put together a
    technical forum to support this activity. TIG will also make available on
    demand one day customer presentations at the Executive Customer Centre
    (ECC-E), Sophia Antipolis on a scheduled basis, further information
    regarding this will be made available at the forum.

    POLYCENTER Netview Announcement

    Digital has announced  a  relationship  with  IBM, this  relationship  will
    result in a port of the NetView/6000 product to DEC  OSF/1  on  Alpha  AXP 
    systems  in  early  1994.   The  Digital/IBM relationship  will  also 
    produce management solutions for Windows NT on both Alpha AXP and  Intel 
    systems  (targeted  for  1994),  followed  by OpenVMS  on  Alpha  AXP 
    systems.   Digital  will market NetView/6000 as POLYCENTER NetView.  The
    POLYCENTER NetView product will  be  a  network management  solution  as 
    well  as  the  foundation  for  integration of additional networked systems
    management applications.  Digital  and  IBM will  jointly  develop 
    POLYCENTER  NetView and NetView/6000 with future releases made available
    simultaneously.

    As  part  of  the  relationship,  IBM's  NetView/6000  Association   and
    Digital's  POLYCENTER Partner program, both recruitment programs for ISV
    applications, will expand to become a  joint  program  between  the  two
    companies.  The intent is for all applications and MIBs from each member
    company to be able to operate  with  both  NetView/6000  and  POLYCENTER
    NetView.
    
    The Digital and IBM relationship is significant for several reasons.  As
    a  "true"  business  relationship,  Digital and IBM will share costs and
    reap the benefits  together.   This  relationship  leverages  a  defacto
    standard to move the industry forward and exemplifies a growing trend of
    cooperation by major  industry  players.   It  is  expected  to  benefit
    customers by increasing their choice of ISV management applications.


TARGET AUDIENCE
	
    This forum is strictly for Digital Internal personnel only. The targeted
    audience is sales and consultant personnel directly involved in the support
    and sales of the POLYCENTER product set.

    It is also intended for Network management consultants involved in RFI/RFP
    and bid proposal.

  
FORUM OBJECTIVES        

    The major objective of this forum is to ensure that the Digital Internal
    personnel directly impacted by the announcement clearly understand the
    marketing reasons and the benefits to all concerned, both from the
    marketing and technical perspective.
    
    Provide European input to Corporate with respect to migration strategy and
    implementation.  The Work Shop is intended to all consultants to air their
    views of the issues facing Digital in Europe with regards the announcement
    in general.

    This forum will also provide a good technical understanding of the
    NetView/6000 product and a strong appreciation of the benefits this
    product brings.

    It is also an objective to provide a good user level understanding of the
    product from the End User Interface perspective.
