Aimtech Corporation and Innotech Multimedia Corporation announced today a co-marketing agreement to cross-promote Aimtech's authoring software for creating Java(TM) applets called Jamba(TM), with Innotech's NetResults(TM), a Java-based search and retrieval engine for websites and intranets. Both organizations will initially target web designers and developers to increase their awareness of the benefits of using software applications which take advantage of the flexibility and options provided by Java.

Jamba's award winning interface (Best of Test, Internet World Magazine, February 97) does not require users to develop in Java or Javascript code. "Jamba provides a simple and elegant way of developing Java applets that work in conjunction with the NetResults search engine," said Norm Vokey, president and CEO of Innotech. "Products like Jamba, that require no programming, are key to increasing the implementation of all Java applications."

"Great synergy exists between an application like NetResults which allows webmasters to create their own end-user interfaces and a product like Jamba which facilities the process," said Larry Bertram, vice president of business development at Aimtech. "NetResults is an excellent example of the power and flexibility Java applications can offer websites and intranets.

NetResults' Java-based search and retrieval engine equips websites and intranets with powerful search options, allowing visitors to find information quickly and easily. One of the most affordably priced engines in the market, NetResults takes advantage of the flexibility provided by Java to offer features that are unmatched by competitors such as: Cascading searches, customizable end-user interfaces and advanced indexing and searching options.

Cross-promotional efforts will concentrate on informing the market about the fit between the two products, and drive to increase each company's customer base by building on both organizations' sales and marketing efforts.
