IT RADIO NETWORK IS NOW FEATURING INDEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH THE CEO’S CHECKPOINT AND VIADOR

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Jan 11th, 2001 -- IT Radio Network, "The Voice of eBusiness," is now featuring in-depth interviews with Jonathan Harding, CEO of Viador Inc. (Nasdaq: VIAD) and Gil Schwed, CEO of Checkpoint Software (Nasdaq: CHKP).

During the interviews, Harding discussed the importance of enterprise information portals, understanding their advantages and why companies like Oracle, Sun and IBM are entering the market and Casey discussed the company's history, network security and what it takes to be an industry leader.

In the interview Harding gave the definition of an enterprise information portal and who can benefit from them. " An enterprise information portal is an infrastructural offering that allows you to integrate information and applications from your corporate databases and from your corporate applications," said Harding. "They bring that information in a single user interface to different constituencies such as customers, suppliers, and business partners in a business-to-business type set up."

During the interview with Gil Schwed, he discussed the network security market, how saturated it is and how much upside the sector has. "I think the market is still growing very, very fast in the sense that new companies either connect to the Internet or existing companies expend their use of just basic Internet access," said Schwed. "The real growth area is still in connecting business to its remote users, business to its remote offices, and maybe the biggest one is connecting businesses to other businesses through the Net."

These interviews and many others are available free online in RealAudio and text at http://www.itradionetwork.com.
