   Starnberg/Munich, Germany(ots Ad hoc-Service) - DCI AG partners
with HERMES, Allianz, Deutsche Bank, Gerling, Trusted Trade, Trusted
Shops, Telegate and DataDesign to launch innovative e-commerce
initiative. New b2b security infrastructure signals major
breakthrough in Internet commerce.
DCI Database for Commerce and Industry AG has unveiled a
ground-breaking initiative for enhanced security around e-commerce
transactions. The TrustedTrader service is backed by DCI's global
service partners HERMES Kreditversicherungs AG, Deutsche Bank AG,
Allianz AG, and Gerling Kreditversicherungs AG along with its
subsidiaries Trusted Trade GmbH and Trusted Shops GmbH, as well as by
Telegate AG and DataDesign AG. The primary objective of TrustedTrader
is to make Internet trading safer than ever before. DCI will be
vetting prospective TrustedTraders and approving credit-worthy,
reliable market players. By eliminating the risk and uncertainty
inherent in a virtual marketplace, DCI has taken a valuable step
towards promoting the worldwide acceptance and popularity of
e-commerce. This new certification service will initially be targeted
at corporate customers and e-marketplaces in Europe. At present, some
15 million companies are based in Europe and the number of
e-marketplaces is expected to exceed 1,000 by 2001.
Within the TrustedTrader alliance, DCI will be providing the
technical infrastructure. With the backing of its partners, it will
be offering commission-based insurance services to protect against
the risks associated with Web purchasing. As the operator of Europe's
leading IT/telecom e-commerce portal, DCI is ideally positioned to
leverage the industry-strength offerings of its TrustedTrader
partners to offer market players comprehensive protection against
payment default and damage to goods in transit. DCI's alliance with
financial and software service providers also presents TrustedTraders
with a range of factoring services and advanced encryption
technologies for secure payment.
All market players will have the opportunity to register as a
TrustedTrader. An annual fee will be charged for TrustedTrader
certification. Once vetted by DCI and awarded the TrustedTrader
symbol, market players are entitled to all the benefits available
under the programme. The TrustedTrader community is thus restricted
to credit-worthy, trustworthy e-merchants. The services brokered by
DCI will generate additional revenue in the form of commission. It is
thus expected that this new strategic initiative will propel revenue
figures beyond the budgetary targets.
