NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2001--NCR (NYSE:NCR) Corporation and Netkey Inc. today announced an agreement naming NCR a reseller of Netkey software. The announcement was made during the National Retail Federation's 90th Annual Convention & EXPO in New York, where both NCR and Netkey are participating.

Netkey's comprehensive software suite includes products that help businesses create and manage a Web kiosk environment using their existing Web site.

Under the agreement, NCR can offer Netkey software with the NCR Web Kiosk Solution. NCR will also use the Netkey software suite to deliver solutions as part of NCR customer engagements in target markets including the retail, utility and transportation industries. Netkey and NCR have a record of success in joint kiosk deployments including projects for major retailers such as Service Merchandise.

Web kiosks help consumers quickly obtain information they need to make purchase decisions, such as locating products, checking product availability, accessing product information and receiving relevant promotions, using Web-based technology. In its latest World Interactive Kiosk Markets research report, Frost & Sullivan projects a compound annual revenue growth rate of more than 20 percent in the interactive kiosk market over the next six years.

"NCR has established a leadership position in the growing Web kiosk market, and Netkey is pleased to partner with them to deliver high quality, market ready solutions to companies throughout the world," said Alex Richardson, chief executive officer of Netkey. "Together, Netkey and NCR will begin bridging the gap between e-commerce and bricks-and-mortar by helping companies bring the Web closer to their customers."

Compact, flexible and reliable, the NCR Web Kiosk offers full multimedia capability and a robust infrastructure that allows the kiosk to interface with other applications. Netkey's scalable software platform provides a number of key benefits including the ability to enhance the performance and intelligence of large scale, Internet-based customer workstations.
