E-Commerce Site to Accept Public Donations For the

Preservation of Historic Air Craft and Space Artifacts

Internosis, an innovative Microsoft e-business solution provider that manages technology change in the areas of e-commerce, eCRM, knowledge management and infrastructure, announced today the completion of an e-commerce site for the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.

The Web site, which launched today, was integrated with the Museum's current Internet site for the purpose of accepting public donations for the building of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center to open in December 2003 at Washington Dulles International Airport.

The National Air and Space Museum is building the companion facility in order to exhibit and preserve more of its collection of aviation and space artifacts, some 80% of which is now in storage.

"We worked closely with the developers at Internosis to create an e-commerce site that would allow the public to play a direct role in the preservation of our nation's important air and space heritage," said General John R. Dailey, Director of the National Air and Space Museum. "Visitors will be able to see virtual views of the new Center, `Adopt-a-Plane', make tax deductible contributions to the Hazy Center, and much more. We believe Americans will proudly contribute to continuing the story of technology in flight."

Internosis built a business-to-consumer e-commerce Web presence for the Museum, which utilizes Microsoft's Site Server Commerce Edition and enables visitors to view information on many air and spacecraft while making donations in support of restoration efforts.

Internosis provided project management, development, and implementation consulting services to deliver this full-scale e-commerce site, which offers customer registration and authentication, order processing, shipping and billing addresses, payment validation and order confirmation.

"This was an interesting project for Internosis and we enjoyed being a part of this technology-in-flight story," said Richard Warren, chief strategy officer at Internosis. "Using industry-leading Microsoft technologies, we were able to provide the Museum with support throughout every phase of the customer engagement lifecycle, from initial project assessment through user training. This site provides the Museum with a robust infrastructure to support the abundance of donations they will be receiving."
