“Inprise/Borland (Nasdaq: INPR) today announced that Bank of
America’s Global Corporate Investment Bank (GCIB) has chosen the
Inprise Application Server, the first application server to support
the J2EE standard and combine the benefits of EJB and CORBA, as a
key element in its ecommerce strategy. Inprise Application Server
was chosen over seven other competing application servers after a
three-month trial period. Inprise Application Server will enable
GCIB to expand its presence on the Web and provides the company
with the technology needed to support these and other
enterprise-strength Internet business applications.”

“We selected Inprise Application Server due to its strong
corporate support, greater compliance to industry standards, and
its attractive price,” said Dave Dillon, senior vice president
of software engineering, GCIB, Bank of America. “The most
important reason, however, was its ability to integrate into the
Visigenic suite and leverage the scalability and reliability of the
VisiBroker(R) object request broker, which is already part of
our current business-to-business ecommerce systems.””

“Inprise/Borland is a leading provider of Internet access
infrastructure and application development tool and services for
major platforms, including Linux, Solaris and Windows.”
