Rare Medium Inc. to Ignite E-Commerce Engine For Genuine Parts' Subsidiary New Site Will Allow Existing and New Customers to Complete E-commerce Transactions ATLANTA, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Rare Medium Inc. announced today it has been selected by EIS, a subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC - news), to redesign its Com-Kyl division's Web site and integrate the new site with the company's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Rare Medium will design the new site to link existing business-to-business customers with the Com-Kyl division through a secure Extranet allowing them to order products on-line from an e-commerce store front, review the status of orders, inventories and make payments, all in real time. ''We selected Rare Medium because of their experience in incorporating the Internet into existing business channels,'' said Steve Kendall, chief executive officer, EIS. They're not just web developers, but a true Internet solutions integrator.'' According to Kendall, integrating the Web site with the ERP system will provide EIS customers with one of the most cost-efficient purchasing channels available today -- the Internet. ''These new e-commerce solutions offer a single point of contact for our customers. This improved access will save them time and money and provide us with an expanded Internet presence, which is critical to our continued success,'' added Kendall. The initial scope of work includes redesigning the Com-Kyl Web site, installing an IBM e-commerce solution to link the site to the SAP R/3 system, and developing an Extranet for existing business customers. Phase two of the EIS Web site development is to create a business-to-consumer Web site. Rare Medium will design for EIS a company store front that will allow consumers to buy products directly from Com-Kyl. About Rare Medium Inc.
