To Increase Marketing Opportunities For Long Island Businesses

Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) and Newsday today announced a partnership to develop and manage Internet commerce solutions for small to mid-range Long Island businesses.

Leveraging their combined talents, the companies will offer comprehensive Web development and marketing strategies for Newsday clients accessing the paper's World Wide Web site, newsday.com.

Under the agreement, both Newsday and CA's NetHaven business unit will promote joint on-line and print marketing offerings. NetHaven clients will be encouraged to make use of Newsday's advertising options, while Newsday clients will be actively directed toward NetHaven's Internet commerce solutions. Future plans include a joint seminar series to educate and aid Long Island businesses in developing their Web-based marketing options.

Newsday, a subsidiary of Times Mirror, is the sixth largest newspaper in the country. NetHaven brings together CA's industry-leading software technology with a variety of services designed especially for turnkey Internet and corporate Intranet solutions. Among its Long Island-based clients are Weight Watchers International, Publishers Clearing House, Fortunoff Fine Jewelry And Silver, Inc., Korg USA, Inc., Bankers Life Insurance Company of New York, and Noodle Kidoodle, Inc.

"It's absolutely critical that businesses entering the world of electronic commerce are armed with both development expertise and marketing muscle," said Adam Yahre, vice president and general manager of NetHaven. "The combination of CA's Web commerce solutions and Newsday's online and print marketing offerings will give our mutual clients the competitive advantage to succeed in today's Internet marketplace."

Under the partnership, NetHaven has created and is managing the Long Island Store, the electronic commerce portion of Newsday's web site. The store is a collection of Long Island-themed items including gifts, clothing, and collectibles, based on the paper's Long Island: Our Story project, a far reaching effort sponsored by CA and other Long Island companies, that promotes local history and culture. A portion of proceeds from the Store will aid needy Long Island families during the holiday season.

The store was developed with NetHaven's InstantWEB system, a complete turnkey solution that enables companies to maintain Web sites without learning HTML programming. Through the partnership, NetHaven is making InstantWEB available to Newsday clients.

"The partnership between CA and Newsday, two of Long Island's biggest and most locally proactive companies, furthers our collective goals to promote Long Island as an ideal location for business," said Fred Tuccillo, Newsday's director of new media. "By melding CA's expertise in the Internet realm and Newsday's communications strength, we can offer businesses commerce solutions on-line that will connect them to the widest possible consumer market."
