As more and more businesses adopt the Internet, they are looking for comprehensive end-to-end solutions that enable them to migrate existing business systems and legacy data to the Web. These businesses often rely on the services of Web site builders as well as system integrators, database developers and consultants. The NSP program aims to service the needs of these professionals who fall into unique segments and resell products, provide design expertise, product training as well as project management services to translate businesses visions into reality.

"NetObjects has succeeded in establishing itself as a provider of world-class Web authoring software that is used by hundreds of thousands of people around the world to design, build and maintain business Web sites," said David Kleinberg, NetObjects' executive vice president of products. "With the launch of the NSP program we are now extending our offering beyond software to include comprehensive resources tailored to meet the needs of unique constituencies who are implementing real business solutions for clients."

"I have had tremendous success selling NetObjects products along with comprehensive consulting, project management, installation and training services," said Jim Chen of Audio Images, a value added reseller who has worked closely with NetObjects for the past two years. "I am pleased to see the company formalize its commitment to the VAR and developer community by launching the NSP Program which will help solution providers like myself build profitable businesses by leveraging the NetObjects product family."

In addition to receiving a listing on and access to a special, non-public section on the NetObjects Web site, the different groups receive unique benefits tailored to meet their needs.

The NSP Program which will continue to evolve and grow, currently provides the following benefits:

• Value Added Resellers who join the program will receive advance product updates and information; technical and pre-sales support to increase knowledge of NetObjects products, sales tools, collateral; and co-marketing support to generate leads and support sales efforts.
• Developers who join the program will receive developer resources such as the Component Development Kit and DHTML Development Kit; early editions of NetObjects software to jumpstart development efforts; access to special newsgroups to support their development efforts; and a listing of their components in an online directory to increase leads and sales.
• Trainers who join the program will receive training prior to product releases to ensure they are ready to hold classes on new products as they are developed; and co-marketing support such as direct referrals from NetObjects to help fill classes and increase profitability.
• Web site builders who join the program will receive co-marketing support to help increase visibility and enhance sales; exposure through a listing on the NetObjects Web site; and access to special newsgroups to support their development efforts.
