HOB signs general agreement with computing center KIV - the municipal information processing center of Hesse Zirndorf, 15 December 1999. The Zirndorf located connectivity experts at HOB have achieved to gain a foothold in the territory of another huge German IT service provider. As HOB announced today, the deal recently made comprises 10.000 licenses of the PC-Host connectivity software HOBLink 3270 as well as the mainframe optimization and encryption software HOBCOM. Additionally KIV - municipal information processing center of Hesse - also signed a 3 years' support contract with HOB. The major argument for Max Reinhardt, Manager for "Planning/Consulting" in KIV's network department, was HOB's outstanding range of features, the production philosophy and the comprehensive services provided. He said, "We tested five emulations for a rather long period. We were not only impressed by the solid quality of the software, but also by the consistency of the HOB production conception and the excellent support that was provided. " He continues: "We are entrusted with more than 300 local authority districts. That's why data security has first priority. As a matter of course we must also monitor our expenses for data transmissions. HOB provided a solution for both issues - seamless encryption and data compression - which fully cover our demands -and beyond that HOB also readily considered our special requests." Stefan Blahowetz, Manager of the network department adds: "We have the obligation not only to evaluate technical demands but also the economy of products. The HOB products provide a very attractive cost effectiveness, as we stated during our advertisement." The order volume, which is a seven digits number in German marks, also includes a comprehensive support contract apart from equipping all related district workplaces with HOBLink 3270 in a step by step manner and plans to install HOBCOM on the mainframes. Up to this day approximately 2000 work places have been equipped with HOBLink 3270. Further information: powerUp International webmaster@hobsoft.com, Last Updated: 03-Jul-07
