Partner With Us

Telecommunications operator Cegetel enterprises S.A. and Interliant Europe B.V., a subsidiary of Interliant, Inc. today announced an alliance.

Under terms of the partnership, the companies will deliver Web-based hosting and e-commerce solutions to the French market. The deal is significant for Interliant as it revs up the company's drive to be the number one provider of hosted solutions in Europe.

Brett Raynes, president of Interliant Europe, believes the agreement with Cegetel represents an important step in Interliant's growth strategy. "Leveraging Cegetel's strong presence and reputation in France will enable us to deliver hosting and e-commerce solutions to a much broader range of customers," he said.

As a part of the transaction, Cegetel enterprises sold equipment to Interliant Europe for its Paris Data Center. Cegetel will gain access to Interliant's technical expertise in the delivery of fully integrated Web site solutions and will market Interliant's Web and hosted solutions, building on Cegetel's existing base of 25,000 customers. Some products and services will be Cegetel branded or co-branded.

Interliant looks to lead the ASP market in Europe, according to Raynes. "Through its program of partnerships and strategic acquisitions, Interliant Europe is ahead of the competition in delivering on the promise of swift, secure and cost effective deployment of hosted applications," he said

Eugene Beckers, general manager, Cegetel enterprises sees the agreement with Interliant Europe as providing the opportunity to increase its portfolio of offerings.

"Because of Interliant's capabilities and experience, we will be able to accelerate delivery of new solutions to new and existing customers," he said. " Interliant's expertise in the area of hosted application solutions will be particularly valuable to us."

Cegetel is the second largest telecommunications operator in France providing telecommunications service to more than 10 million residential and corporate customers in France.

Headquartered in Paris, France, Interliant Europe, is a strategic business venture between Interliant, Inc. and @viso, a European technology incubator resulting from a strategic venture of Vivendi and Softbank.
