GraphOn - GOJO - Expands China Offerings Through
Exclusive Agreement with Corel - CORL
MORGAN HILL, Calif. and OTTAWA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2000--GraphOn Corporation, (Nasdaq:GOJO - news)
www.graphon.com, developers of Bridges web-enabling software, today announced it has signed an exclusive agreement
with Corel Corporation (CORL) to market and distribute WordPerfect® Office 2000 for the Windows® and Linux®
platforms and Corel® LINUX® OS for the desktop as part of GraphOn's planned solution for China's educational system.
With the arrangement, GraphOn can offer China's educational system a cost-effective infrastructure and application
combination. China's Ministry of Education has already seen successful implementations of GraphOn Bridges web-enabling
software, which provides a thin client, centrally managed system for deploying applications into China's schools. The Corel
WordPerfect office suite and Corel LINUX OS for the desktop products enable GraphOn to provide a comprehensive
solution for the Chinese market.
``Our agreement with Corel makes a lot of sense. We can satisfy the needs of far more schools and gain more market share
faster by offering productivity solutions as well as the vital connectivity,'' said GraphOn CEO and President, Walt Keller.
``Starting with China's educational system, we can present a comprehensive suite of applications for the Windows and Linux
platforms, Linux operating system and of course our Bridges technology that will free China's schools to move to Linux
while preserving their investment in Windows. GraphOn wins, Corel wins, and China's educational system wins.''
``We are pleased to offer our product family to GraphOn for its expansion into China,'' said Corel President and CEO, Dr.
Michael Cowpland. ``We have been bringing our award-winning applications to countries around the world. We now look
forward to offering the alternative solutions that China is seeking through GraphOn's sales and marketing strengths in this
exploding market.''
GraphOn, which announced its entry into the China market in November 1999, has been working with the Ministry of
Education in the development of a strategy to provide economical productivity solutions to China's educational system.
