Bell Canada Division to Use Netscape and Actra Systems

Bell Canada said its Bell Emergis division will use systems from Netscape Communications Corp. and its Actra affiliate for an electronic commerce offering to Canadian corporations.

Business customers will have access to the Netscape CommerceXpert product family, developed by Actra, and to Bell Canada expertise in delivering secure commerce on-line.

"This is a big step for us," said Jim Tobin, Bell Emergis senior vice president and chief operating officer. "Providing customers with on-line support, advising them on how best to leverage the unique selling points of the Internet, and establishing a new method to manage their efforts is the future for telecommunications companies."
