FUTURELINK AND WAVEBEND SOLUTIONS LLC ENTER
INTO AN AGREEMENT TO DEVELOP A CO-MARKETING PROGRAM
WaveBend Solutions LLC, formerly the Business and Technology Solutions Practice
of BDO Seidman LLP, offers Hosted Services to Clients
IRVINE, Calif., April 10, 2000 - FutureLink Corp. (Nasdaq: FTRL), one of the first
application service providers (ASP), today announced the agreement with WaveBend
Solutions LLC, a single-source company delivering dynamic and sustainable business
and infrastructure e-solutions, to develop a co-marketing program. This arrangement
will provide FutureLink with a new channel partner, and WaveBend with an opportunity
to offer application hosting services to its clients.
FutureLink and WaveBend will work together to develop a joint marketing approach
to small and midsize companies. Through this joint marketing approach, FutureLink
and WaveBend will provide clients with an initial implementation of applications,
supplemented with additional services in response to the client's needs. This
approach allows clients to work with the same group of consultants and application
service provider over time, while experiencing reduced ramp-up time and lower
cost.
"We are pleased to be working with WaveBend to develop this program," said Phil
Ladouceur, chief executive officer of FutureLink. "We can work with WaveBend on
a complete implementation of both custom and office-product software hosted in
one place, while providing dependable 24 x 7 access."
Through its data centers, FutureLink allows companies to outsource all computing
service and support, and precisely manage the total cost of technology ownership.
FutureLink customers subscribe to hosted application services on a per-seat basis,
receiving Internet access to business-critical software and complete support services.
"We have always had long-term evolving relationships with our clients, and now
we can offer them hosted applications, a cost-effective technology alternative,"
said Jeff Caldwell, a WaveBend regional consultant.
