IOMART GROUP PLC
Agreement with BT for NetIntelligence distribution
iomart Group plc ('iomart') is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement
with BT plc for the provision of iomarts NetIntelligence software. The agreement
will give BT Wholesale sales rights to the product in the United Kingdom
broadband market.
BT Wholesale plans to offer NetIntelligence to its broadband Internet Service
Provider ('ISP') customer base, which includes virtually every ISP in the UK.
NetIntelligence Home Edition offers security and parental control for up to
three computers in a broadband-connected home. It provides full anti-virus
protection, blocks inappropriate web sites, monitors and records Instant
Messenger and chat, and gives a full view of all users activity in easy to
understand reports. The product has been specifically designed for non technical
families.
NetIntelligence, which can be fully customised and branded by the ISP, will be
marketed as a value add service or bundled to complement existing internet and
broadband portfolios.
Angus MacSween, iomart's Chief Executive, commented 'We are delighted to have
secured this agreement with BT which represents an important endorsement of our
technology and its market leading capabilities. All internet users, especially
children are entitled to an abuse-free online environment and it is important
that internet service providers make it as easy as possible for consumers to
control their experience of the world-wide web.'
'With over 4.4 million DSL broadband subscribers currently in the UK, nearly all
of whom are ultimately supplied by BT Wholesale, we believe that this agreement
represents a significant opportunity for both parties'.
