PLATINUM TECHNOLOGY LICENSES BINDVIEW’s NETWORK INVENTORY CODE

Platinum Technology Corp, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois has licensed Houston, Texas-based BindView Development Corp’s network inventory technology, BindView NCS, and plans to integrate it with its own Xfer software distribution tool. Bindview NCS provides network control facilities over NetWare, Vines or LAN Manager networks and will be out early in 1996. The integrated system will enable Xfer to find the hardware, software and files on each desktop and then distribute software and administrative commands based on the inventory profile. Xfer will collect data from servers and desktops tie-in with asset tracking and help-desks.
