Data General Brings AV Image Support to PeopleSoft HRMS 5 Human Resources
Management Software

Chicago, April 1, 1996 -- Data General today announced that it has
integrated its AV Image imaging software with PeopleSoft's HRMS 5 human
resources management software on its AViiON server platform. The company
is demonstrating image-enabled HRMS 5 in Booth #531 at this week's AIIM
tradeshow.

Data General is at the forefront of a new approach to imaging based on
standards-compliant software running on open enterprise systems. The goal
of Data General's Imaging Business Unit is to add value for users, VARs,
and ISVs by image-enabling applications using its award-winning AV Image
software environment. AV Image and PeopleSoft HRMS 5 are supported by Data
General's full line of Intel-based AViiON servers running either the DG/UX
enterprise operating system or NT Server.

"By integrating imaging with the most popular client/server applications
provided by vendors such as PeopleSoft, we are essentially adding an
electronic paperclip that allows users to include views of images,
documents, or folders of multiple document types," said William Zastrow,
vice president of Data General's Imaging Business Unit.

By deploying image-enabled HRMS 5 human resource management software, Data
General users can easily integrate image documents such as employee
resumes, relevant government payroll documents, letters of reference, or
performance appraisals with human resources, payroll, or benefits
application modules.

"Data General's imaging solution was developed from the perspective of the
user and PeopleSoft," said Frank Strelau, PeopleSoft's vice president of
business development. "It is an open imaging framework that was created to
incorporate standards-based application software and hardware to provide a
total user solution."

Data General consultants are available worldwide to build interfaces
between any given application and the AV Image system using the
Integration Toolkit.

The AV Image Viewer utilizes a unique compression technology called
Auto-Focused Image Extraction which reduces network traffic by 90% and
increases viewing speed 15-fold.

Servers and Storage

Data General's latest AViiON server systems, based on industry-standard
Intel processors, continue to leverage the company's technical strengths
in areas required to serve today's enterprise market, including symmetric
multiprocessing, clustering, and high availability. Data General's OpStar
family of turnkey optical storage subsystems includes high-density optical
discs and jukeboxes bundled with OpStar software, providing a
comprehensive solution for on-line and near-on-line high capacity data
storage that is transparent to the application. Data General's high
capacity CLARiiON storage arrays are also a natural fit with
storage-intensive image-enabled applications and can be configured to
provide the level of RAID support desired by the customer.
