SCO AND CALDERA SYSTEMS EXTEND SCO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO CALDERA CUSTOMERS
SCO Adds New Linux Services to Growing Stable of Offerings
Santa Cruz, CA and Orem, UT (March 13, 2000) - SCO (NASDAQ: SCOC) and
Caldera Systems, the Linux for eBusiness company, today announced an
agreement to offer SCO Professional Services to Caldera customers,
worldwide. The latest agreement expands the scope of the SCO Professional
Services Division, who now offer specific professional services packages
for three top Linux distributors.
The SCO Professional Services offerings are designed to help Caldera
customers and resellers with planning, installation, configuration, and
deployment of Caldera OpenLinux systems.
"We are delighted to be able to offer our Linux expertise and services to
Caldera's growing base of customers," said David Taylor, vice president of
the SCO Professional Services Division. "This agreement, together with our
co-marketing agreement for Tarantella announced at LinuxWorld Expo, further
strengthens the ties between our companies."
"This is great news for Caldera customers," said John Thomas, vice
president of Support Services at Caldera. "The addition of SCO Professional
Services will supplement our in-house offerings to give our customers a
comprehensive range of services. We are continuing to see larger companies
interested in adding Caldera OpenLinux to their infrastructure and would
like the comfort of using SCO Professional Services. Their reputation and
experience will offer excellent service for our customers."
SCO Professional Services Division Expands at Rapid Rate
The addition of another leading Linux distributor to its range of
partnerships and services marks the continued expansion of SCO's
Professional Services Division.
"As Linux begins to serve as a platform for business critical and mission
critical computing, requirements for professional services for this
platform increase," said Dan Kusnetzky, program director for IDC's
operating environments and serverware research services. "SCO, having
already built a worldwide service infrastructure for its UNIX products, is
in a very strong position to support Linux."
SCO, Linux, and the Open Source Movement
As a corporate sponsor of Linux International, SCO is a strong proponent of
the Open Source movement, citing it as a driving force for innovation and
business opportunities.
SCO has strategic alliances with LinuxMall.com, TurboLinux and Caldera and
has taken equity positions in all three companies. During the last year SCO
introduced new Linux and Open Source-related professional services. SCO is
also a driving force in raising funds and awareness for the Linux Standard
Base (LSB).
