Tuesday June 30, 10:27 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: JVWeb, Inc. JVWeb, Inc. and Heitmann S.A.C. Announce Strategic Alliance for Internet Services HOUSTON, June 30/ PRNewswire/ -- A strategic alliance has been formed between JVWeb,Inc., Houston, Texas (OTC Bulletin Board: JVWB - news and JVWBW - news) and Heitmann S.A.C. (http://www.sac.co.uk) based in U.K., Europe. Heitmann S.A.C. would provide web development and other Internet related technical services on behalf of JVWeb and JVWeb will market these technical capabilities on a fee for service basis in the United States. This new strategic partnership is an outgrowth of the relationship between the two companies that has been solidified over time with the assistance provided by Heitmann in the creation of JVWeb's showcase websites,http://www.jvweb.com and dadandme.com . These projects proved the ability of the two companies to use Internet tools to complete web projects across international boundaries. JVWeb and Heitmann have not entered into a legally binding agreement with regard to this relationship, but they intend to explore, through their strategic alliance, the basis for entering into a legally binding agreement in the future. This represents a core relationship for JVWeb, Inc. in its business model as a Strategic Internet Services (SIS) provider. Through targeted acquisitions and additions to the management team JVWeb intends to position itself as a leader in the technical and strategic marketing competencies required for brand development critical to web commerce. Heitmann has been designing, writing, translating and communicating technical information for over 25 years, working with some of the world's largest multinationals. With offices across the Northern Hemisphere, and working in the world's 25 most used languages they can deliver technical information critical to each organization's chosen marketplace. Heitmann has a particular emphasis in new media distribution and deploys proprietary expertise in the publishing of Internet and Intranet technologies. Since 1994 Heitmann has produced over 2,000 successful interactive information projects. JVWeb enables organizations to achieve competitive advantages in the rapidly expanding electronic commerce marketplace. The firm provides a mix of Internet-centric professional services, blending creative and design skills with system integration expertise as well as management consulting capabilities. JVWeb has established core competencies to become an important player in the emergence of electronic commerce. The company's premise is that businesses will migrate to the web as this channel of distribution is exploited. As this occurs, the average business owner is confronted with an array of alternatives in developing a viable marketing and distribution strategy to exploit this channel. Typically, the owner's knowledge of technology is inadequate and the typical web developer lacks the business sophistication to assist the owner in making these critical success or failure decisions. Therefore, JVWeb becomes the ''partner'' in developing and implementing electronic commerce strategy.
