Under this agreement, Bell makes DTM one of its main partners in providing computer products and services for the new integrated internetworking and electronic commerce solutions that it will offer to the small and medium-sized businesses market in Quebec. These Bell solutions, which combine local and wide area network (LAN/WAN) services, electronic commerce applications and the necessary systems infrastructure, will allow Quebec businesses to obtain all the products and services they need to take full advantage of new technologies, directly from Bell. 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 computer products supplied by DTM will be from reputable manufacturers, such as Hewlett-Packard. ''We were looking for a partner that shared our customer-service vision,'' said Normand Lord, General Manager, Sales and Authorized Agents at Bell. ''With DTM for a partner we know that our customers will continue to enjoy the peace of mind they have come to expect from us.

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.'' ''The highly competitive prices and extensive experience of Bell and of DTM in network infrastructures will give a decided advantage to Quebec businesses that opt for these new solutions,'' commented Rene Auger, Vice-President, Sales at DTM.
