Bradmark Extends Its Rebate Rewards Program to the Entire HP 3000 Community

HOUSTON – December 5, 2002 – Bradmark Technologies, Inc., an established provider of data management solutions, today announced that it is extending its Rebate Rewards program beyond existing Bradmark customers to include the entire HP 3000 community.

Users of the HP e3000 and its IMAGE database can now enroll in the Rebate Rewards program by trading in their current database utility and establishing a maintenance contract for DBGeneral®. New members using the trade-in option will receive like product functionality at no cost for the software license. Upon signing, the customer will be automatically enrolled in Bradmark’s unique Rebate Rewards program and will receive a voucher equal to the amount spent on twelve months’ of maintenance that can be used for purchases of Bradmark’s NORAD®; product for relational database support. "Through the extension of this popular program, we want all HP e3000 users to be able to continue with their current applications while retaining an investment in new technologies. The Rebate Rewards program provides a unique mechanism for protecting your investment in your current technology," commented Brad Tashenberg, chairman and CEO of Bradmark. As a result of Hewlett Packard’s announcement to discontinue support for their line of HP 3000 servers many users are planning to migrate to other platforms. As one the few software vendors who can provide continuity and stability through the transition with tools for both the HP 3000 and for open systems, Rebate Rewards members can leverage their investment in the HP 3000 by utilizing it in their future plans.

NORAD software monitors and manages Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server and DB2 databases as well as operating systems and user applications. It provides real-time feedback and optional automatic corrective action of problematic events to ensure maximum performance, availability and reliability. NORAD is available direct from Bradmark Technologies or through its worldwide network of distributors.
