"This relationship means that combined with EnviroMart.com's best-of-breed applications, we will quickly be able to expand the global reach and impact of the premium content that we have invested four years developing and marketing successfully within the environmental professional community."
Brian Healey, President and CEO of EnviroMart.com, echoed Sogorka's comments: "EnviroMart.com will greatly enhance its product portfolio by hosting RTN's industry-rich content and innovative RIMS2000 environmental technology research tool. We look forward to providing the market with next generation interactive environmental safety and information tools via our unique ISP/ASP solution set." Mr. Healey, who, along with Mr. Sogorka, is well acquainted with the needs of the environmental professional, expressed confidence that the market will respond very favorably. "The environmental professional has needed for some time a powerful set of tools to improve productivity. Our alliance provides that solution, which contributes directly to the customer's bottom line. With this alliance, environmental professionals will now have a compelling industry partner as we offer them content intensive resources and advanced web-enabled services."
The EnviroGlobe-EnviroMart alliance will provide the environmental professional industry with a single source solution for virtually any product, information or application requirement.
