"Unify's licensing program is an excellent model for software companies doing business in China," said Robert Bannerman, Commercial Attachi for the U.S. Department of Commerce in Beijing. "We will support Unify and its efforts to implement advanced software technology in the PRC while insuring that the software used within the country is properly licensed."

"We have worked closely with the Chinese government to create a method for opening the vibrant Chinese market to U.S. software companies," said Reza Mikailli, president and CEO of Unify Corporation. "Because of our business relationship with the PRC, we were able to develop a fair and equitable program that will be a model which can be used as the country significantly expands its information technology capabilities. This breakthrough program is just the first step in what we believe will be a very important and long-term relationship for Unify and our customers in the PRC."
