Media coverage of the Compaq deal (of March 24) Here are some of the key points and financial details ======== The Financial Post, Tuesday, March 24, 1998 Amanda Lang Technology Reporter Compaq signs up Mpact, Inex The bundling agreement with Compaq will bring in licensing and transaction revenue for Mpact, analysts said. The product, ClubWeb, helps small and medium-sized businesses set up Internet commerce systems. It incorporates a server from Compaq with Mpact's BuyWay payment-processing system and Inex's store-front Internet software, both designed for Microsoft's NT operating system. Mpact will receive $200 to $300 a server, as well as 50› for each transaction conducted on its system. =========== Bloomberg News, March 24, 1998 Mark Evans MPACT signs licensing deal with Compaq TORONTO - MPACT Immedia Corp. of Montreal said it licensed software to Compaq Computer Corp. that will enable Compaq to boost sales to customers who want to do business over the Internet. Compaq will use its Mpact's BuyWay secure-payment software and Microsoft Corp.'s electronic-commerce server software in powerful central computers called servers, which are sold to Internet-access providers and merchants looking to protect consumers' credit-card numbers. The agreement could boost Mpact's annual revenue by $20 million if Compaq, the world's largest computer-maker, reaches its annual target of selling 100,000 servers that include Internet software. Mpact doesn't expect any revenue from the agreement for a couple of quarters. Mpact will receive a licensing fee of $200 to $300 U.S. from Compaq for every server that includes its software, said Mpact spokesman John Davidson. Mpact will get $30 U.S. when an Internet-access company that buys a Compaq server sells an electronic-payment system to a merchant.
