NetManage. NetManage Inc. was a software company based in Cupertino, California, founded in 1990 by Zvi Alon, an Israeli engineer. The company's development centre was located at the MATAM technology park, in Haifa, Israel.  In June 2008 the company was acquired by Micro Focus International, a British company based in Newbury, Berkshire.

History
NetManage was founded in 1990 by Zvi Alon, an Israeli engineer who was trained at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and immigrated to the Silicon Valley in the 1980s. It was one of the first software companies to offer TCP/IP, networking, and email products.
  
During the dotcom boom, the company generated annual revenue in excess of $100m (for the year ended 31 December 2000), but in following years failed to sustain this level of income. The company was reported to have 10,000 customers worldwide, including a majority of the Fortune 500 companies. The company's shares were traded on NASDAQ under the symbol NETM.

The company's main product initially was a TCP/IP stack.  Before Windows 95, it was just about the only way to have internet on a Windows machine, as Windows 3.1 did not have TCP/IP included.  Microsoft added native support for TCP/IP with Windows 95, which effectively made NetManage's primary business product irrelevant.

NetManage developed an entire suite of internet-based products, including a Web browser-like product called Chameleon as early as 1994. A Chameleon was also used as the company's logo.  These products sustained NetManage for a time even after the TCP/IP stack became obsolete.

Helder Antunes served as NetManage's Director of Engineering from 1993 to 1998.

The company was also involved in launching one of the first Internet service provider in Israel, NetVision.
