Clickmarks Announces Strategic
Partnership with Portugal's Tradecom,
Expanding Distribution of Its Mobile
Data and Voice Solutions in Portugal
and Latin America
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA - December
3, 2001
Clickmarks, a provider of software
infrastructure products for wireless
carriers and enterprises, today
announced a strategic partnership
with Portugal-based Tradecom. The
agreement will extend the reach
of Clickmarks' mobile data and voice
solutions for enterprises and wireless
carriers in Portugal and Latin America.
Tradecom, a reseller and systems
integrator of B2B products and services,
has established relationships with
telephone companies, banks and enterprises
through its own operations and its
parent company, Portugal Telecom
Group.
The agreement authorizes Tradecom
to sell, customize, install and
maintain Clickmarks' Enterprise
Habitat™ and Mobile Habitat™
wireless information solutions and
associated technology. For example,
Clickmarks will enable Tradecom
to supply banks with a solution
allowing their customers to consolidate
their personal bank, credit card,
mileage and other accounts into
a single interface for one-password
access on PCs, PDAs, cell phones,
or other mobile devices.
"Clickmarks offers so much
core functionality within their
product family that we can easily
customize solutions to meet individual
customers' needs, and we can usually
do it without writing a single line
of code," said Jorge Lopes,
Vice President of Business Development
and IT for Tradecom. "Clickmarks
offers the most impressive technology
I've seen in a long time, with no
real close competitors."
"Tradecom's blue-chip clients
and geographic reach promise to
help us penetrate new markets, thereby
playing an important role in the
success of our global expansion
strategy," said John Huyett,
President and Chief Executive Officer
of Clickmarks.
