                                is an island, and partnership with industry and 
                                sector leaders can help any business leverage 
                                the competencies of its partners to improve the 
                                quality of its service to clients. Internet Technologies 
                                Ltd (nettechTM) recognises the potential for added 
                                value and synergy that such relationships can 
                                deliver and initiatives have been launched to

 Industry Leaders
 
 
  Our 
                                application for partnership with Oracle 
                                Corporation, under their technology partners 
                                programme has been approved. Oracle is by far 
                                the leading provider of enterprise database engines 
                                to leading companies the world over, and lists 
                                the majority of Fortune 500 companies amongst 
                                its clients and currently provides first class 
                                database engines and applications on the UNIX, 
                                Windows, and VAX/VMS platforms. By partnering 
                                with Oracle, and other industry leaders, and niche 
                                product and application providers, it is hoped 
                                to create a context in which flexibility is retained 
                                in dealing with the needs of clients. Where appropriate, 
                                relations with others such as Microsoft 
                                and IBM 
                                will also be negotiated, at such a time as is 
                                expedient. 
 
 
 Local and Complimentary Competencies 
                                
 Locally, relations are maintained with businesses 
                                that have the potetntial to provide complimentary 
                                services and/or competencies that may be needed 
                                by nettechTM clients. Among these are the consulting 
                                firm of Adeniji Kazeem & Co. as well as an 
                                informal relationship with Hyperia, the Internet 
                                service providers. More of such collaborating 
                                arrangements are planned for the near future, 
                                all with the aim of improving the versatility 
                                and potential of the interface provided to clients, 
                                especially in consluting.
 
 
 Sector Clients
 
 Finally, and in addition to relationships with 
                                Industry leaders and local businesses, a strategy 
                                for partnering with selected businesses in certain 
                                sectors of the Nigerian economy has been outlined. 
                                These businesses are seen as partners, to the 
                                extent that the company will be working closely 
                                with them to help distinguish their services within 
                                their sector. This level of involvement engenders 
                                an enduring overlap of interest, which requires 
                                more than the client-customer relationship, to 
                                attain the good and desirable aims. We regard 
                                them as our partners. It is the intention to find 
                                one, or two, businesses from a number of sectors 
                                to form a community of pioneering Nigerian businesses.
