Alydaar Expands Into E-Commerce; New Sales Team to Enhance the Y2K Business December 22, 1998 10:20 AM CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Alydaar Software Corporation's ALYD Chairman and CEO, Robert F. Gruder, today announced a significant expansion of its sales force, including a new vice president of sales spearheading its movement into e-commerce. "Alydaar has long been a force in fixing Y2K problems -- but as we approach the Millennium we need to forge ahead into new areas. Clearly, the Internet is one of them," said Gruder. "The future of business depends upon the Internet and the ways that companies use it do business. That's where Alydaar fits in. We want to help companies do business better using the Internet -- plain and simple." To lead and manage this expansion, Alydaar has brought in Rich Buchanan as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Chris Brumlow as Marketing Manager for e-commerce. Buchanan will be responsible for managing Alydaar's global sales team, while Brumlow will lead the e-commerce effort. Veterans in sales and marketing, both Buchanan and Brumlow come to Alydaar with more than 40 years of combined experience. Recently, both worked for Eastman Kodak. "The new Alydaar sales force will build dynamic relationships between customers and business partners throughout the United States and abroad," said Buchanan. "With Chris' help, we will be able to maintain Alydaar's position in the Year 2000 market, while simultaneously move into e-commerce and other areas." Brumlow will hire a separate global sales team to support Alydaar's e- commerce initiative. Representatives will be placed in primary international markets, including France, Italy, Germany and Japan as well as across the US. "Through our Year 2000 work, we have quickly expanded our work in the international market," said Brumlow. "We anticipate even faster growth for our e-commerce initiative and look to extend our presence significantly in the next year." Larry
