Campbell Services Bundles Check Point Software with OnTime, Joins OPSEC to Facilitate Secure Internet Scheduling

Southfield, MI - 1997-04-21 - Campbell Services, the leading provider of enterprise group scheduling solutions, today announced that it is working with Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., the leading provider of network security solutions to make it easier for companies to conduct secure group scheduling via the Internet.

Campbell Services will include Check Point's FireWall-1 SecuRemote client software with OnTime Enterprise, enabling their customers who have the Check Point FireWall-1 Inspection Module to take full advantage of OnTime's powerful TCP/IP support and client/server architecture to schedule across the Internet, while maintaining the same level of security that their corporate network provides.

Check Point's SecuRemote creates a virtual private network (VPN) for remote clients such as mobile PCs and laptops by providing client-to-firewall encryption. OnTime customers get secure remote access to their schedules via the OnTime client software or their standard Web browser. Users can access the complete user directory, public groups, data, and do searches as they would inside the corporate network.

As part of its drive to make it safer for customers to use public networks such as the Internet for enterprise group scheduling, the company also announced it is joining Check Point's Open Platform for Secure Enterprise Connectivity (OPSEC) Alliance as a Passport Partner. OPSEC's mission is to establish standards to insure that different security technologies work together to enhance Internet and Intranet computing.

"This combination of technologies will alleviate the security concerns companies have about deploying client/server applications on the Internet," said Mike Heylin, director of Internet research at Creative Strategies International.

"Group scheduling is a perfect application to take advantage of Check Point's VPN technology," said Jacqueline Ross, director of marketing for Check Point Software Technologies, Inc. "Organizations have walled themselves in and are denying remote employees and telecommuters access to some of the advantages of the Internet - such as full access to their calendars - anytime, anywhere. VPN's are a cost-effective way to overcome this problem."

OnTime was the first group scheduling solution to deliver real-time Internet group scheduling. Campbell Services is committed to providing its customers with total solutions by partnering with companies, such as Check Point and AT&T. These product and service relationships help OnTime customers take full advantage of the world-wide reach of the Internet to set up meetings and manage schedules.
