Allaire is partnering with some of the best. Read the last paragraph. Fez _____________________ Monday January 18, 10:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Synertech Announces Synertech Commerce 2.0, an IBM Net.Commerce and Sun Microsystems Solution for Online Retailers BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 1999--Synertech Internet Services, Inc., a leading provider of electronic commerce solutions, announced today the availability of Synertech Commerce 2.0 for Online Catalogs. This eBusiness solution, targeted at the retail and direct mail industry, integrates IBM Net.Commerce 3.0, IBM DB2 Universal Database and the Allaire ColdFusion application server running on the Solaris™ Operating Environment from Sun Microsystems, Inc. Unlike other eBusiness solutions, Synertech Commerce 2.0 delivers more than a Web site with an online catalog and order processing system. By streamlining and automating the entire Web-related business cycle, the Synertech solution frees merchants from managing cumbersome and routine back-end business processes. (http://www.synertechinc.com) Synertech is demonstrating its latest implementation, Sierra Trading Post (http://www.sierratradingpost.com), in the Sun booth at the National Retail Federation Trade Show in New York City January 18-20. To respond to the needs of their customers, Sierra Trading Post retained Synertech to put their catalog online and integrate with their existing back-end systems. The Synertech and Sierra Trading Post teams together created an elegant online outdoor clothing and equipment store that brought value and convenience to the Sierra Trading Post's current and new customers. ''Synertech now offers retail and catalog customers an electronic business solution previously unavailable in the market,'' said Rod Murillo, President, Synertech. ''Our association with IBM (NYSE:IBM - news), Sun Microsystems (NYSE:SUNW - news) and Allaire provides our customers with world-class solutions for electronic business online. In the past, catalog and direct retail companies were faced with selecting components from independent vendors that did not offer the complete solution. Customers now have a one-stop resource.'' As electronic commerce continues to explode, the need for true scalability and performance is essential for catalogers and direct retailers. Online retailers will continue to have increasingly heavier demands on response times and order, billing and fulfillment processes. The Partnerships with IBM, Sun and Allaire bring Synertech's customers enterprise-class, scalable hardware and software to meet the growing eBusiness market demands. ''Synertech is the premier 'go to' eBusiness partner for the Sun/IBM Partner Practice in the Net.Commerce arena. Synertech adds tremendous value to IBM's strengths by leveraging IBM's DB2 data schema, the Net.Commerce business process model, and Allaire's ColdFusion, a leading mission-critical application development framework,'' said Jul Soria, Worldwide Manager, Partner Alliance Development, IBM Software Group. ''By creating a complete solution across these partners' platforms, Synertech delivers an open, cross-platform, scalable solution that large and small customers can use to build and grow an eBusiness.'' (http://www.ibm.com) ''We're pleased to see another innovative company in the growing field of electronic retailing recognizing and embracing the robust, reliable and scalable features of the Sun Solaris Operating Environment,'' said Bob Delaney, worldwide group manager of retailing at Sun Microsystems. ''Synertech's Commerce product is taking a fresh approach by letting retailers and direct merchants leverage their existing investments in DB2 as they migrate to the next level of electronic retailing with multiple operating environments.'' (http://www.sun.com) The Allaire ColdFusion technology provides a multi-platform application architecture. This allowed Synertech to build platform-independent mission-critical applications on both Sun Solaris and Microsoft NT platforms. ''We are pleased that Synertech selected Allaire ColdFusion as a critical component in the integration of the IBM Net.Commerce and DB2 products on the Sun Solaris platform,'' said Victoria Crawford, director of partner marketing for Allaire. ''As businesses expand to provide an electronic commerce presence, it is critical that the technologies behind the scenes are the most feature-rich and robust to provide positive user experiences.''
