I saw this article and thought this may be of interest. The question remains will they actually be able to deliver on a promise and change their track record. On the positive side, it appears that Jetcom has done some strategic planning and developed a tactical plan. Securing financing will be a key item that Shaun Darchiville hopefully will be able to deliver upon.
TORONTO, Dec. 16 /CNW/ - Alan Moriyama, President and CEO of Jetcom Inc. is pleased to announce that Jetcom Inc. will be entering the e-commerce enabling and hosting business. "We are currently streamlining the client application and arranging financing for the initial deployment of our e-commerce strategy. This new application is intended for launch during Q1/00 and will be directed primarily to small and medium-sized enterprises seeking a cost effective and efficient solution to entering the e-commerce environment," said Mr. Moriyama.
"The global opportunities are tremendous for our e-commerce application. Many companies are in transition towards becoming an e-commerce friendly business. In entering this new line of business our goal is to build a solid process and maintenance foundation that will ensure continued growth and overall success. We intend on capitalizing on this reality by identifying the needs of our target market and providing the required solutions" said Mr. Moriyama.
Mr. Peter Pohlmann, chief technology officer of Jetcom Inc., indicated that "our primary goal is to provide an effective solution to enterprises that would otherwise find the cost of entering the e-commerce environment very prohibitive." "Once our e-commerce application is implemented, the user will not be required to initiate HTML programming to make changes to the product description, pictures of their products can be downloaded by the user via digital camera images, high speed hosting and data storage infrastructure in a secure environment would be provided by Jetcom Inc. and website design and modification will be provided where necessary" he concluded.
"Going forward the company will focus on two business models: the business-to-consumer and business-to-business models. The business-to-consumer model will see the company focus on building and leveraging our satellite programming subscriber and dealer channels. The business-to-business model will involve the deployment of our turnkey e-commerce application and hosting solutions", said Shaun Darchiville, senior vice president of business development for Jetcom Inc. "Our goal is provide our clients with the required secure infrastructure and support needed to deploy, maintain and modify their e-commerce strategy", he said. "Ultimately Jetcom Inc. is focused on building relationships and providing solutions," concluded Mr. Moriyama.
