Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq:ADIC) announced today that it is dramatically expanding the role of the Internet in the way that it supports its existing reseller and distribution channels and provides services to its entire customer base. The Company's new Internet initiatives include an on-line order status reporting function, a new channel partner web site, and a new on-line store for sale of storage media and accessories. ADIC also announced that it is actively developing an integrated strategy for supporting the on-line purchase of automated tape libraries and other storage products in conjunction with the Company's existing reseller channel. "We believe that integrating effective web-based communication into our customer and channel relations programs will be critical to ADIC's continued ability to deliver superior products and service through the methods that our customers demand," commented Bill Britts, ADIC executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Many of our customers want the convenience and speed of on-line order status. We already sell media and accessories to customers who buy directly off the ADIC price list, and these customers want the ability to order those commodity products on-line." "We also know that some of our corporate end-users want to begin purchasing more complex products -- including tape libraries -- through an on-line process. ADIC is actively working with our reseller channel to help connect end users who have that buying preference with resellers who have on-line sales and support capability." Live since last week, the new on-line order status web connection allows any of ADIC's customers -- including resellers, distributors and OEMs -- to view transactions. Connections to the order tracking system are made to a secure order database server with controlled access. Customers are able to check status of open orders and expected shipping date. For orders placed online, customers will receive e-mail confirmations upon shipping for ease of tracking delivery, and will be able to view order history. ADIC also went live last week with The ADIC Store, an on-line site that allows end-users to purchase some commodity storage products -- media, cabling, and accessories -- from ADIC's price list using a credit card. This Internet site will also provide a mechanism for referring customers to ADIC resellers for purchase of tape libraries. In the planning stage is a system for connecting on-line customers with ADIC resellers who can support instant on-line purchases. Scheduled to go on-line within two weeks is a new ADIC partner web site, designed to provide easy access to sales and marketing support materials for ADIC resellers and distributors. The site -- which will include both a public area and a pass-word controlled area for authorized ADIC partners -- will house new product information, presentation materials, on-line literature ordering, information about special promotions, and other information to help ADIC's reseller partners. *********************************************************** Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq:ADIC) announced today that it has been selected by USA Cable as a partner to provide the automated storage library component of the USA Cable's new digital content management facility. The new centralized facility, which will initially serve content for both the USA Network and SCI FI Channel, is designed to replace traditional control rooms and analog tape machines with a multi-tier automated computer network optimized for storing, managing, and delivering broadcast content in completely digital format. Conversion to digital server technology will allow USA Cable to store and stage content more efficiently and more automatically than traditional video robotic systems. It also provides scalability, allowing for easy expansion to support additional broadcast projects.snip..... Jim
