AXS-One and Unify partner to deliver comprehensive solution for migrating Lotus Notes e-mail and applications to the Microsoft platform

Combined Offering Allows for Rapid Migration without Disruption

Rutherford, N.J. and Roseville, Calif., Oct. 29, 2008 -- AXS-One [OTCBB : AXSO], a leading provider of scalable, high-performance records compliance management (RCM) solutions, and Unify Corp. (NASDAQ: UNFY), a global provider of application modernization solutions, today announced a partnership to deliver a comprehensive migration solution for companies looking to transition off the Lotus Notes platform.

Through the partnership, AXS-One and Unify will work with customers to migrate Notes e-mail and applications to the Microsoft platform, thereby enabling removal of Lotus Notes servers with little to no disruption to the business or end users.

The solution offered by AXS-One and Unify delivers a best-of-breed approach that addresses requirements for e-mail, calendars, contacts and applications, as well as effective co-existence with the Lotus Domino environment. AXS-One's Dynamic Data Migrator™ (DDM) mail migration technologies and services work in conjunction with Unify’s Composer migration solution, providing a complete transition of messaging, collaboration, e-mail and custom complex Lotus Notes applications with business logic and workflow (to include LotusScript) to Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and . NET.

“Our partnership with AXS-One broadens our Composer suite and heightens DDM value — enabling our customers to rapidly and efficiently transition from Notes to Microsoft with little disruption,” said Kevin Kane, vice president and general manager of Composer Solutions, Unify. “The delivery of a comprehensive migration solution accelerates our customers’ ability to sunset Lotus Notes and rapidly adopt the Microsoft platform.”

Bill Lyons, CEO of AXS-One added, “Dynamic Data Migrator has a dramatic impact on the cost and time it takes organizations to transition from Notes to Microsoft Exchange. By partnering with Unify, we have extended the value of our highly differentiated approach and can provide the Microsoft field, partner and customer community with a comprehensive platform migration strategy.”

“This partnership between Unify and AXS-One is a great example of how the Microsoft partner community is coming together to support customers by providing a complete solution that enables rapid deployment and adoption of the Microsoft platform without disruption,” said Jim Bernardo, Director of Microsoft’s Enterprise and Partner Group. “Unify and AXS-One are key technology partners for the migration of custom business process Lotus Notes applications and e-mail to the Microsoft platform.”

Introduced in June 2008, AXS-One’s Dynamic Data Migrator (DDM) provides a revolutionary new approach to e-mail server migration. DDM provides continuous access to Notes e-mail directly from the user’s Outlook client, delivering a zero-conversion alternative to conventional data conversion processes. Message fidelity is assured, delivering a solution that provides reduced risk, costs and timelines.

Unify’s Composer for Lotus Notes is an application migration solution that decomposes data from Lotus Notes and re-assembles it into . NET and SharePoint environments. Composer incorporates standard methodologies, rich migration technologies and professional services to deliver new Web services-based applications that seamlessly integrate into the Microsoft Office suite. Composer uniquely migrates the LotusScript, providing customers with a complete solution for quickly and easily migrating even the most complex custom Lotus Notes application frameworks. The validity of Composer is best depicted by referenceable customers who have deployed the migrated applications to their production Microsoft platform – and turned off their Lotus Domino servers.
