HP Takes Equity Stake in Novadigm with Global Marketing, Sales
and Technology Alliance
Alliance Delivers Rapid Control of Software and Content
Distribution Across Heterogeneous Boundaries
PALO ALTO, Calif., and MAHWAH, N.J., July 5, 2000 -- Hewlett-Packard Company
(NYSE: HWP) and Novadigm(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: NVDM) today announced a strategic
alliance to integrate, market and sell Novadigm's industry-leading software and
content management products with HP OpenView management solutions for the
enterprise and service providers markets. In addition, HP will become an equity
owner of Novadigm.
"The combination of HP e-services, HP OpenView business-driven intelligence and
Novadigm's Radia solution enables quick control and management of software and
content across heterogeneous boundaries," said Patty Azzarello, general manager
of HP's OpenView Software Business Unit. "Novadigm's ability to deploy and
service virtually any type of software or content provides both immediate and
long-term value-add to our customers, and further strengthens HP OpenView's
competitive position worldwide."

"HP's strong customer relationships and worldwide market presence will greatly
expand Novadigm's distribution reach and lead to increased market share for us
on a global basis," said Albion Fitzgerald, chairman and chief executive officer
of Novadigm. "Integration between Radia and HP OpenView will provide a robust
solution for managing a company's digital assets across its full life- cycle --
from delivery to upgrading and repairing, and ultimately, retirement. This is an
industrial-strength alliance that greatly benefits everybody, particularly our
customers."
"As today's market forces require enterprises to deploy software and content
within the enterprise and beyond the firewall to business partners and
customers, management becomes a true business-critical reality," said Ronni
Colville, director of Research for Gartner, responsible for desktop management
and deployment technology market analysis. "Rarely is one vendor suited to solve
these complex requirements. The power of vendor relationships lies in the
quality of what each brings to the relationship as well as their ability to
integrate to continually meet client needs. Relationships with best-of-breed
technology providers who have had success in large-scale, complex environments
with deploying and servicing software, multi-media content, videos and even
advertisements, and relationships with vendors with robust direct sales and
global channels create a competitive alternative for enterprises to consider."'
"The ability to manage software and content is an important aspect of end-to-end
management for internal enterprise initiatives and for extended B2B virtual
enterprises," said Ray Paquet, vice president of research for Gartner. "The
overall management problem is so massive and complex that it generally requires
multiple vendor solutions, especially in B2B situations."
