The entire systems portion of the new solutions (sales and service) will be handled by DTM, which will act as an integrator; however, Bell will remain the sole point of contact for customers.

The President of DTM, Mr. Karol Brassard, had this to say about the new agreement: "We are extremely proud to be associated with Bell, a company whose renown and expertise are widely recognized in the industry. This strategic agreement confirms the complementary nature of the solutions offered by our two companies in the area of internetworking and electronic commerce."
