Big news today:
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- ConnectInc.com (Nasdaq: CNKT - news) today announced the launch of its new ConnectInc.com Affinity Partner Program (CAPP), an e-business partnering initiative which the company believes will dramatically expand the reach of its products and services via a new Internet-centric partnering model with the thousands of Website developers in the U.S. and internationally.
''The ConnectInc.com Affinity Partner Program (CAPP) is an exciting new program allowing small and medium-sized Web developers and systems integrators to rapidly and profitably enter the exploding e-business solutions marketplace,'' said Craig Norris, CEO of ConnectInc.com. ''For ConnectInc.com, the CAPP represents a way to share our advanced e-commerce software and professional services expertise with the fast growing 'new breed' community of 'site builders' and applications developers in the U.S. and abroad. We see the CAPP initiative as the first major thrust into our innovative ''associate-selling'' model and are delighted to have signed up Netlan Interactive of New York as our Master Affinity Partner for the Mid-Atlantic Region,'' Norris added. ''This program also takes advantage of our new MarketStream application and open architecture, and builds upon our IBM partnership and the Websphere Application Server and MQ Series Middleware software.''
''Netlan Interactive is all about helping our customers build e-businesses based on 'Digital Streetsmarts,''' said Michael Gansl, CEO of Netlan Interactive. ''As specialists in both Digital Infrastructure and Internet Website Development, we are excited about being able to help our customers become ''e-business ready'' in as little as 4-6 weeks based on the ConnectInc.com technology and professional services model. As a systems integrator with 14 years of experience, we think the CAPP initiative represents a great opportunity for e-business solutions providers to partner 'the Internet way,' in Web time with Quickstart eBusiness Projects on an applications hosting basis,'' Gansl concluded.
Under the CAPP initiative e-business solutions providers can:
* Offer Quickstart eBusiness Projects based on an ISP-hosted instance of ConnectInc.com's MarketStream.

* Partner with ConnectInc.com to ''upsell'' major enterprise projects involving complex systems integration expertise. In this way small and medium sized Web developers can remain competitive and develop ongoing customer relationships around their customers e-business transformation in multi-vendor, open systems environments.
