Launch of Intelligence Accelerator Services' focuses on 'Profit, Speed and Networks
(9th October 2000)

SYDNEY: APT Strategies, one of Australia's first online research and intelligence companies, has today announced the launch of their next generation intelligence accelerator services, 12 months after the acquisition of their 50:50 joint venture with Nasdaq listed Jupiter Communications.

Following 12 months of a restraint of trade in syndicated research, APT Strategies will now offer their clients Intelligence Accelerator Services whereby analysts engage in consultation, deliver best practice research reports and create business opportunities for clients within their network of over 10,000 global Internet businesses.

According to Marc Phillips, Chief Executive Officer, "Our Intelligence Accelerator Services focuses clients on strategies to achieve speed to market and access to a network faster than ever before. It reduces the emphasis on publishing out of date research and extends the network to deliver mind mapping and proactive advice to clients."

Fortune 1000 companies are losing billions of dollars each year due to inefficiencies resulting from intellectual rework, substandard performance and the inability to find knowledge resources. The Internet has commoditised opinions, the true value of intelligence is moving towards the knowledge network and the success of an online business is now largely dependent on how quickly a business models can migrate across regions of the world.

"The biggest pressure Asia Pacific online businesses have now is making their business profitable. Ensuring their business model is scalable across various marketplaces depends on how quickly companies can accelerate the process - this is the new challenge. It's the quick or the dead now" says chief analyst, Mr Paul Koffler.
