MontegoNet and NetShift Renew
Strategic Relationship
Portsmouth, RI - September 12, 2002 -
"After more than six years of successfully working together, MontegoNet is very
pleased to renew its strategic relationship with NetShift," said MontegoNet
President Thomas Smith. "We believe that our companies' respective strengths
are greatly enhanced by working in partnership."
As part of the new agreement, MontegoNet has gained
exclusivity in certain USA markets with respect to NetShift products and
services and will work in close cooperation with NetShift's USA office based in
Florida. MontegoNet will be acting as NetShift's service and support center in
the US, particularly for hosted Enterprise Remote Management services.
Bob Gallner, VP Sales NetShift USA comments, "We are
now seeing considerable demand for NetShift products and solutions since
opening our USA offices in March. This increased level of co-operation with
MontegoNet will provide further infrastructure and geographical reach to
deliver higher levels of customer service."
As part of this strategic relationship, the two
companies are working together on a rapidly growing number of projects
including a major BP deployment to be formally announced in October.
"MontegoNet offers market leading expertise in kiosk
hardware, software and application development which makes them the ideal US
partner for NetShift. Given our commitment to rapidly grow our business in the
USA and our established partnership with MontegoNet, it was a natural decision
to broaden the relationship," commented Nigel Seed NetShift CEO.
