As the Account Manager of record, I have been asked to respond to
questions
regarding Financial Intranet, Inc. (FNTN).
The relationship with FNTN began in February of 1997. Michael
Sheppard, the
newly appointed President COO, contacted Siemens-Pyramid looking for
advanced multi-media solutions to meet anticipated business needs. I
had
had the pleasure of working with Mr. Sheppard on another multi-media
project, prior to his appointment at FNTN. Through that earlier
association,
Mr. Sheppard became aware of Siemens' capabilities in the complex and
rapidly changing multi-media arena.
Since the FNTN project would require the marriage of several
multi-media and
communications disciplines, several Siemens divisions were introduced
into
the development effort. Siemens Telecom Networks, (formally known as
Stromberg-Carlson and now called Siemens Information and Communications
Networks LLC, a.k.a. ICN ) helped develop the network topology under a
consulting agreement. Siemens Nixdorf OEC, Emerging Technologies (now
part
of Siemens Information and Communications Products, LLC, a.k.a. ICP)
assembled and developed the WEB application and merged the
Siemens-Pyramid
(now part of ICP) developed FNTN Customer/Broker-Dealer data base into
the
application.
Siemens Business Communications Systems (formally Rohm and now part of
ICN)
was engaged to help develop a video teleconferencing service.
Siemens Business Systems (SBS) has been engaged to provide ongoing
Remote
Systems Administration services on the FNTN system platform while
Siemens
Advanced Services and Media has been contracted to assemble/develop new
solutions.
Siemens is pleased with our mutually beneficial customer/vendor
relationship. Siemens also views FNTN as a valued technology partner
and
plans to introduce and showcase advanced multi-media solutions through
FNTN's growing customer base. There are also discussions underway on
how to
jointly display our combined solutions in appropriate trade shows and
other
suitable arenas.
