US Navy sails clear of Y2K with ClickNet

Johannesburg, 19 Jan 1999

ClickNet Software, a leading supplier of software solutions for managing networked PCs and Year 2000 compliance, has announced a major sales agreement with several United States Navy Commands. The Commands have acquired corporate licences to use ClickNet Professional, the company`s PC LAN asset management tool, and ClickNet Y2K, the successful Year 2000 desktop compliance management solution.

The Navy Commands plan the largest government implementation of ClickNet software, including installation of 124 000 nodes at over 1 200 Navy installations around the world. Over the course of the deployment, ClickNet Professional 4.5 and ClickNet Y2k 5.0 will be installed at Navy shore Commands and on ships and at port facilities domestically and internationally. The choice of ClickNet Y2k for Year 2000 readiness and ClickNet Professional for asset management across Navy worldwide operations is a strong validation of ClickNet`s software as best-of-breed solutions for desktop asset management and Y2K compliance.

"We are honoured that the US Navy has selected ClickNet Software`s solutions," says Lou Ryan, president and CEO of ClickNet Software. "The Navy`s computer systems demand the most reliable and efficient operation, and its choice of ClickNet software is a high distinction for our company."

ClickNet Software has achieved significant sales momentum as acceptance of its solutions continues to grow. The company has shipped hundreds of thousands of ClickNet licences in recent months to users in commercial and government organizations, including Sprint, Fluor Daniel, and the National Institutes of Health. Recent announcements include internal licences for IBM corporate deployment worldwide, as well as marketing and channel distribution agreements with IBM Global Services and Hewlett-Packard in US and European markets.

ClickNet products are distributed in South Africa by Server Tools, a company in the TCO Holdings group.
