Effective immediately, InfoSpace-powered services are available to service providers who offer Intel's Dot.Station web appliance, empowering them to roll out a range of Internet services directly to customers under their own brand. The services include commerce services that enable users to find local merchants, comparison shop among online and offline retailers and service companies (users can simply enter a UPC code, part number, barcode or ISBN to shop for a specific product) and make purchases with a single click.
"InfoSpace's platform offers a fully integrated suite of data and transaction services that can be rolled out under any company's brand," said Claude Leglise, vice president, Intel Architecture Group and general manager of the Home Products Group. "We think that the Intel Dot.Station web appliance with InfoSpace's services will be a powerful tool enabling service providers to deliver compelling, high-quality products, services and user experiences."
"Internet service providers missed their first opportunity to fully support their customer base by offering cutting edge applications and services under their own brand and we are giving them another chance," said Naveen Jain, chairman of InfoSpace. "Today, service providers are looking to InfoSpace as a way to offer Internet services under their own brand to decrease customer churn and build their bottom line. Both narrow and broadband Internet service providers, by offering customers an Intel Dot.Station web appliance with their branded services and applications, have a powerful tool they can use to reestablish these profitable customer relationships."
