Strategic Partnerships Continue to Mount for Free ASP Provider

BOSTON (October 24, 2000) - Less than six weeks after announcing a business strategy to provide communication and collaboration tools to the telecom/Web-hosting industry, Intranets.com today announced three additional strategic partnerships with C3 Communications, ISP Live and Domain DLX. Intranets.com, (www.intranets.com), the world's largest and fastest growing provider of Web-based intranets, continues to forge key partnerships in the telecom/Web-hosting industry boosting its reputation as an easy and affordable way for telecom/Web-hosting companies to deliver branded intranets to their customers as a revenue-generating, value-added service. "This partnership allows ISP Live to offer useful business applications to our customers while Intranets.com gives us a seamless infrastructure to communicate to our customers," said Mark Fincannon, president and CEO of ISP Live, an Atlanta-based company that provides private-label portals and Web-hosting services to ISPs and small businesses. "Intranets.com provides a completely outsourced and integrated solution for our Web site." "The Web-hosting market is becoming increasingly crowded and Intranets.com allows Domain DLX to differentiate ourselves while building a stronger brand awareness and securing customer loyalty," said Muhannad Said, CEO of Domain DLX, a Rockville, Md.-based leader in providing free Web-hosting services. "In return, our customers get an easy-to-use, flexible array of communication and collaboration tools." C3 Communications in Temecula, Calf., is an integrated broadband applications services provider offering VELOCITY broadband wireless and wireline technology and next generation SONIC - 100 MB-plus connectivity with online software packages for small and medium-sized businesses. Last month, Intranets.com announced partnerships with Hostcentric, one of the largest privately held application service providers and Web-hosting companies, and Broadband e2e, a national provider of Internet connectivity and online solutions for small-to-medium sized businesses. Intranets.com offers fundamental business tools such as document management, group discussions, instant messaging, announcement postings and group calendars to its users. "The telecom/Web-hosting industry is a natural complement for Intranets.com," said Steve Fischer, director of business development at Intranets.com.
