NXTware Remote Solution  Solves real business challenges  Operational Costs Maintenance and integration  Loss of Capability Technical know-how, resources and human assets with contemporary tools  Skills mismatch Older platform and languages – Java developers  Addresses the ROI Bell Curve… NXTware Remote Powerful Benefits

ROI Bell Curve Risk Bell Curve ROI Time Risk As applications age, they become more expensive to maintain and the risk associated with their operation increases. If action isn’t taken, IT managers are eventually forced to start the cycle again, investing in a replacement system while carrying the risks related to new development or commercial software customization. Bell Curve Reality Application Return on Investment and Risk Cycle

 Assent: Development  Development and implementation  Capability/Skills high rate of growth...  Apex: Mid-life  Capability matures faster  ROI plateaus after deployment  Descent: Aging  Dissipating capability Technical skills tend to evaporate  Higher cost of operation Continually “Putting out fires”  Software hardening Increasing cost of handling changing business needs ROI Bell Curve and Capability The Capability Wave breaks early... Capability

NXTware Option  NXTware Remote extends the ROI Curve by  Simplifying the use and maintenance of existing assets  Managing changes in the market, technical standards and talent pools  Limiting risks associated with re-engineering and software hardening  Enabling selected business logic integration and extension with SOA and Web Extending the ROI of Valuable Business Logic

Existing Development  Complexity  Development  Maintenance  Cost  Rare skill sets  Closed environment  Time-to-market  Responsiveness  Constantly putting out “fires”  Risk  “Software hardening” NXTware-base Development  Improved Manageability  Standards-based  Develop in common environments  Lower Cost of Operation  Standard skill sets  Interoperable with legacy and new applications  Mitigated Risk  Software Evolution  Large Eclipse community of users  Extended ROI  No lost technical equity  No high-cost re-engineering NXTware Remote Drives Efficiencies
