Hardware Vendor Engages B2B Technologies for Development of a New E-commerce Initiative

ATLANTA, GA, August 28, 2001 - B2B Technologies, LLC, a leading developer of eBusiness solutions, and XS International, Inc. (www.xsnet.com), the Southeast's premiere supplier of refurbished, high-end computer systems, announced the launch of a new Web site aimed at providing a robust customer experience, simple catalog management, and a flexible platform that will simplify future enhancements.

"By building on the Microsoft Commerce Server 2000 platform, we can deliver systems not only quickly, but also with rich functionality that always exceeds our customer's expectations," said Frank Fuerst, President of B2B Tech. He added, "Commerce Server 2000 was recently rated the number 1 e-commerce platform and our strong reputation developing with it gives us the opportunity to do cutting edge work such as this".

"We enjoy our relationship with B2B. They understand our business and know how to translate that into business solutions that work." said Todd A. Bone, Founder and Chairman of XS International. "Their technical staff is extremely knowledgeable on the Microsoft products and as a result, they can quickly build rock-solid systems." The site features include an online store, with special areas for "hot" products, the ability to rank products to encourage inventory turnover, cross-selling and discount promotions, ad campaign management, and in-depth reporting and analysis. A huge benefit of the Commerce Server platform is that all of the features are maintainable by the XS International staff via a component of the platform called BizDesk.
