About PrimeHoldings
PrimeHoldings.com was founded in 1996 to exploit advanced computing technologies focused around capturing, managing, and distributing the key business intelligence data that has become the heart of electronic commerce. PrimeHoldings.com has built a sophisticated infrastructure of technology that is utilized by each of its subsidiaries to provide better service, reduce costs, and provide greater manageability during periods of extreme growth. This allows its portfolio companies to run more efficiently and profitably.
PrimeHoldings.com's portfolio includes not only consumer-oriented e-commerce websites but also business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce companies. Current consumer sites include the following announced acquisitions: GolfAgent.com, the largest on-line tee-time reservation system in the United States; and JustGiftIdeas.com, a comprehensive on-line directory of gifts and gift ideas.

The e-commerce market is experiencing exponential growth, which should continue for many years as the world continues to race into this new way of doing business. Forrester Research estimates the amount of goods and services sold through electronic commerce in 1999 to exceed $100 billion (USD) and forecast that by the year 2003, the total will grow to more than $1.4 trillion.
