Tranz-Send Broadcasting Network (TBN) has licensed this joint solution to power its cutting edge ClickMovie.com Web site. ``The hottest Internet companies recognize that if they're going to create a truly engaging user experience, they need systems that combine automated content management and flexible Internet commerce,' said Gary Eichhorn, president and CEO, Open Market, Inc. ``ClickMovie.com has chosen the Open Market/FutureTense solution because it enables them to manage over 50 different dynamic storefronts. This is an powerful endorsement of our planned merger with FutureTense.' ClickMovie.com(TM) is a media-on-demand portal. The company utilizes innovative technology developed by Tranz-Send Broadcasting Network to electronically deliver movies with the highest quality video and sound directly to consumers' homes. The primary focus will be the huge movies-on- demand market. The convenience of movies delivered electronically to consumers' homes in DVD quality for less than national video chains is a major value proposition for consumers. TBN has developed over 42 technologies that enable it to deliver movies electronically via ClickMovie.com. These superior solutions are lower cost and earlier to market than other currently available options. The company has also invented several copy protection methods such as the process that self-deletes digital media files after one viewing. ``Our goal is complete convenience for the consumer and security for the content providers,' said CEO/CTO Scott Redmond of Tranz-Send. ``Open Market and FutureTense offered us out-of-the-box solutions where other solution providers made it sound like we would be financing the invention of the wheel.' Tranz-Send will be using the strength of FutureTense IPS to manage content for up to 50 different storefronts for businesses ranging from theme sites to movie studio sites. IPS, combined with Transact's ability to enable digital offers anywhere on the Web, provides sophisticated, elegant end-to-end commerce functionality.
