PARIS, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1995--AT&T today announced that it will provide European business customers with the services that they need to access and use the Internet as a tool for gaining business advantage.

From October 1st 1995, AT&T Internet Solutions, will cover the full spectrum of business needs from accessing, planning, setting up, operating and maintaining dedicated, leased line connections to the Internet, through setting up and managing a World-Wide Web site, to full support for electronic commerce and publishing.

AT&T Internet Solutions are an extension of AT&T's entry into the Internet market that began with AT&T's announcement of its AT&T WorldNet (sm) services in the United States in August. Additional services will be announced and made available in Europe as the global Internet market develops.

Trials of AT&T Internet Solutions have been underway for the past three months with selected customers. Business customers will be able to benefit from AT&T's Internet expertise in security, network management, and system integration to build sophisticated electronic commerce and publishing applications.

"Companies cannot ignore the Internet or the opportunities offered by the World Wide Web," said Sergio Giacoletto, President of AT&T Solutions for Europe, Middle East and Africa, and the person responsible for the development of AT&T's online and advanced information service in the region. "The problem is that organisations are unsure how to safely integrate the Internet into their businesses. We are bringing technology and expertise developed by AT&T and its partners, to Europe, enabling companies to achieve secure, cost-effective access, presence and commerce on the Internet".

Giorgio Heiman, responsible for the AT&T Internet Solutions offer said, "We have packaged some of the best expertise, products and communications technology available on the market to provide our business customers with high-performance, seamless and secure Internet services".

AT&T has over 15 years of Internet experience, both as a developer and a user. AT&T's systems integration and outsourcing skills will deliver reliable, dependable Internet access. Customers will also be able to call on a wide array of strategic Internet business services, such as World Wide Web site development, Internet security, training, and even re-engineering of business processes.

Each offer is complementary to other products and services from AT&T.

AT&T has provided advanced communication technology for use in the Internet, including the present 622 mbps experimental capability used in the Experimental University Network, XUNET. AT&T's many Internet innovations include the development of the UNIX operating system, the first implementation of security firewalls, and the development of the InterNIC 'directory of directories' for the Internet. In June of this year AT&T's World Wide Web page was voted in the Top 5 corporate home pages by Interactive Age magazine.
