BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 1999--Lookout Lycos! There is a hot new Waltham, MA based Internet company Netegrity NETE that is looking to grab mindshare and marketshare in the e-commerce arena. In an exclusive interview with the Massachusetts Investor's Digest, Netegrity CEO Barry Bycoff outlined his plans for growing the young firm, which recently established a reseller agreement with Netscape NSCP .
Located across Trapelo Road from Lycos LCOS , Netegrity might be on to something big with their SiteMinder product. As companies develop sophisticated Intranet and Extranet sites with potentially millions of users, Netegrity's SiteMinder offers a centralized software solution to control user access. In the interview with the Digest, Bycoff explains how the company's recent pact with Netscape, which recently merged with America Online AOL , will significantly expand the potential reach of the product.
Netegrity has also signed multi-year distribution agreements with two other Massachusetts firms. Westboro, MA based Banyan Systems, Inc. BNYN , a network software and services provider, agreed to license, market, and distribute Netegrity's SiteMinder as "Banyan SiteMinder." Netegrity has also signed a multi-year licensing agreement with Cambridge, MA based Allaire Corporation ALLR , a provider of Web application development software, to embed a subset of SiteMinder into Allaire's "Cold Fusion" application server product.
Netegrity, which traded below five dollars a share for most of 1998, started making some blips towards the $10.00 mark as the notion of e-commerce burgeoned into a reality during the Christmas shopping season. Netegrity already sports a blue chip client list including names like Deutsche Bank, EMC EMC , Houghton Mifflin HTN , and GTE Internetworking.
