Proxicom Launches Its New Corporate Web Site; Dynamic Experience Articulates Internet and IT Domain Expertise, Industry Focus and an Expanded Set of Solutions and Services.

RESTON, Va. -- Proxicom, Inc., today launched a new corporate web site that showcases--through a dynamic, interactive environment--the consulting firm's leadership in helping clients solve business challenges through the innovative use of the Internet and information technology. "Our clients rely on our strategic thinking, our Internet and IT expertise and our project management skills to solve their business challenges, so it was a pleasure to watch some of the best and brightest on our team apply those same talents to our own new site," said Paul Cooley, Proxicom's President and CEO. "In only a few months, they built a dynamic new architecture, created a fresh design and developed solid content that clearly convey the can-do spirit and intellect of our growing company. We are known across the industries we serve as the firm that 'gets things done' for clients, and that is the major takeaway of our new site."

The site highlights Proxicom's solutions in three key areas:

--Business solutions that help companies evolve business processes, acquire customers faster and keep them longer, solve e-commerce challenges and strengthen intranet and corporate communications.

--Industry solutions tailored to the unique challenges of Proxicom's clients in automotive, financial services, healthcare, petrochemical, retail and consumer products and services, as well as the government sector.

--Ready-for-market solutions that offer out-of-the-box applications for companies that want a quick start to achieve their business goals through the use of the Internet and information technology.

The site also describes the firm's role as interactive agency of record for OEM clients such as Mazda, who have turned their interactive program management over to Proxicom. "Through this program, Proxicom delivers results-driven marketing and customer retention strategies that enhance the value of a client's web and interactive assets," said Cooley. "And it is fast becoming one of the most-requested solutions we provide." By serving as a client's IAOR, Proxicom protects a client's marketing investment through integrated budgeting and scheduling, as well as manages vendors and other partner firms to ensure projects stay on budget and are delivered on time.

In addition, the site features an Experts' Corner in which Proxicom's key practice leaders share their views on today's issues and trends, discuss the challenges companies are facing and the new and evolving technologies available to solve them. "We have some of the best strategic thinkers in the business on our team, but they are doers, too," said Cooley. "This section is really a showcase of that brainpower and the pragmatic expertise our people bring to the table when they work with clients. I believe it's one of the best ways to illustrate the value we deliver, and to understand why our clients speak so highly of us."
