System and output management company New Dimension Software Ltd of Tel Aviv, Israel (formerly 4th Dimension Software) is creating a business around its recently introduced MultiPlatform Control- SA graphical user interface-based single sign-on Unix security administration software. A wholly-owned subsidiary based at its headquarters is currently putting together a series of technology partnerships for specialist security providers. It is also looking for additional investment. It should be ready to go public with partners, with a name for the new unit, in a couple of weeks. New Dimension already has Tel Aviv neighbor Memco Software Ltd distributing Control-SA in the US and Canada, which has been integrated with Memco’s own SeOS Unix security add-on. New Dimension says Hewlett-Packard Co’s SecureWare Inc, Argus Systems Group Inc, Sun Microsystems Inc and Data General Corp could all be potential partners. HIS Software AG, Zurich, distributes MultiPlatform Control-SA in Switzerland and Germany. New Dimensions’ US unit in Irvine, California is also distributing Control-SA. The rump of New Dimension’s systems and output management business is worth some $35m.
