SUN MICROSYSTEMS AND ICTT ANNOUNCE A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
AND CREATION OF SUNONE(tm) COMPETENCE CENTER WITH
INCUBATOR CAPABILITIES

Beograd, 11 December, 2001 -- Sun Microsystems and ICTT are announcing
a Partnership in order to promote the adoption of Information
Technologies as a strategic tool for the economic growth of Serbia and
the whole Balkan region. The Companies aim to create a state of the art
Information Technologies infrastructure to support corporations and
start-ups in creating innovative, efficient and open solutions for the
networking era. In the mean time Sun and ICTT will implement a full
spectrum of initiatives in order to provide the most updated information
on the new winning business models, and the most valuable training on
the solutions and the architectures which will enable them.

The cornerstone of the cooperation will be the realization of a
Competence Center with Incubator capabilities based on the Sun Hardware
and SunONE - Sun Open Net Environment -- Software platform; the full
Portfolio of the iPlanet products and Forte Development tools will be
made available in the Solaris 8 environment, the leading Unix operating
environment, for the development, the integration and the test of the
new applications, the implementation of proof of concept, the
demonstrations of new products and technologies.

The Center will be available for Corporate and independent Developers,
organized in multiple environments in order to host many teams in
parallel.

The possibilities for the Developers won't be limited to the IT
incubation, but a full spectrum of consulting, financial and marketing
services will be made available by ICTT in order to support the
transformation of innovative ideas into successful products,
applications and services.

In a wider scenario the Partnerships between ICTT and Sun Microsystems
will promote Information and Communication Technologies as a critical
factor for the economic growth, improving effectiveness and quality of
services in the Public Administration and offering a competitive
advantage to Corporations.

Full training curricula for IT manager, solutions workshops for OpCo
Managers, and customers events will be rolling-out on a regular basis
focusing on enabling technologies, innovative solutions and successful
experiences.

The specific program for the developer will include Java (tm) Developer
days, promoting also in Serbia the widest accepted programming language
with more than 3 Millions Developers worldwide.

"Sun is delighted with this initiative" the perfect Partner to let us
facilitate this process. Information Technology is the fuel and says
Toni La Rossa, Managing Director of the Mediterranean Region in Sun
Microsystems, "Serbia is moving extremely fast in the implementation of
new innovative infrastructure and services and ICTT is the glue of any
new initiative, SunONE is the Sun's proposal for an open, secure,
scalable architecture which can warrant the implementation of an i
nfrastructure meeting actual and future requirements".

"This initiative, first in the Region, confirms the attention Sun has
in Serbia" confirmed George Mavrakis, General Manager for South Eastern
Europe, "it's critical for Sun to offer value and services to the local
Customers, Partners, to the Academic world and the Developers Community.
With ICTT we will be able to provide competences and practices ad hoc
for all these communities. ICTT will have the full aid of Saga, Sun's
Country Reseller, in the development and support of the interests and
opportunities, generated by this Partnership."

"Given the transition process Serbia is now embarking on, and the clear
vision stated by the Government officials that IT based economy is a
road to success, the cooperation between Sun Microsystems and ICTT
represents a major breakthrough in providing a healthy ground for the
development of new IT companies", says Konstantin Vuk Savicevic,
President of ICTT. " This strategic partnership will also help local
corporations adopt new technologies with a view of increasing their
overall competitiveness".

Dr Stanislav Polic, Managing Director of ICTT adds, "With this
initiative our entrepreneurs and IT specialists will have an
opportunity to develop their businesses using the latest technologies
from an industry leader. We believe that Solaris, iPlanet, and Forte
environments represent a strong platform for developers who will
decide to launch new products and services. This will be the first
time that we have such an opportunity in Yugoslavia and expect that
this initiative will have an adverse effect on abrain drain problem".

Aktuelnosti:

SUN MICROSYSTEMS i ICTT OBJAVLJUJU POCETAK STRATESKE SARADNJE
I OSNIVANJE SunONE(tm) CENTRA - POSLOVNIH INKUBATORA

Beograd, 11.12.2001.

Sun Microsystems i ICTT objavljuju pocetak strateskog partnerstva u
cilju promovisanja Informacionih tehnologija kao strateskog pokretaca
ekonomskog rasta u Srbiji i u celoj balkanskoj regiji. Dve kompanije
nameravaju da izgrade najmoderniju informaticku infrastrukturu kao
podrsku korporacijama i mladim (start-up) firmama u stvaranju inovativnih,
efikasnih i otvorenih informatickih resenja u eri umrezavanja. U
medjuvremenu, Sun i ICTT ce sprovesti veliki broj inicijativa u cilju
pruzanja najnovijih informacija o poslovnim modelima poslednje generacije
kao i visokokvalitetnu obuku o resenjima i arhitekturi koja vodi do njih.

Temelj saradnje je osnivanje Centra za strucno usavrsavanje
(Competence Center) koji cine poslovni inkubatori bazirani na Sun Hardware
i SunONE - Sun Open Net Environment - softverskoj platformi; celokupan
paket iPlanet proizvoda i Forte Development alata ce biti dostupan u
Solaris 8 okruzenju, vodecem Unix operativnom sistemu, za razvoj,
integraciju i testiranje novih aplikacija, implementaciju gotovih proizvoda,
demonstraciju novih proizvoda i tehnologija.

U Centru ce se usavrsavati korporacijski i nezavisni programeri, koji
ce biti organizovani u vise okruzenja (timova).

Mogucnosti koje programerima pruza Centar nece biti ogranicene samo na
inkubator vec podrska obuhvata i konsultantske, finansijske i marketinske
usluge koje obezbedjuje firma ICTT. Na taj nacin ce se inovativne ideje
pretociti u uspesne proizvode, aplikacije i usluge.

Na sirem planu, partnerstvo izmedju ICTT-a i Sun Microsystems-a ima za
cilj da promovise informacione i komunikacione tehnologije kao presudan
faktor u procesu ekonomskog razvoja jer se koriscenjem informacionih
tehnologija poboljsava efikasnost i kvalitet usluga u administraciji
dok se korporacijskom sektoru obezbedjuje konkurentnost na trzistu.

Predavanja za IT menadzere, radionice za kompjuterska resenja namenjene
OpCo menadzerima, kao i prezentacije za klijente ce se redovno odrzavati
na temu primene visokih tehnologija, inovativnih resenja i uspesnih iskustava.

Za programere je rezervisan specijalni program "Java(tm) Developer Days"
sa ciljem da se u Srbiji promovise najrasprostranjeniji programski jezik
koji u svetu koristi vise od 3 miliona programera.

"Mi smo odusevljeni ovom inicijativom", kaze Toni La Rossa, direktor
kompanije Sun Microsystems za Mediteran. "Srbija se ubrzano krece u
procesu primene inovativnih infrastruktura i usluga, a ICTT je pravi
partner koji ce nam omogu}iti da olaksamo taj proces. Informacione
tehnologije su "pokretac i magnet" za svaku novu inicijativu, SunONE
je predlog kompanije Sun za jednu otvorenu, bezbednu, naprednu arhitekturu
koja garantuje infrastrukturu koja se uklapa i u sadasnje i u buduce zahteve."

"Ta inicijativa, kao prva u celom regionu, potvrdjuje nameru koju Sun
ima u Srbiji", izjavio je George Mavrakis, generalni direktor za region
jugoistocne Evrope, "od presudnog je znacaja za Sun to sto lokalnim klijentima,
partnerima, akademskom svetu i zajednici programera moze da ponudi pravu
vrednost i usluge. Sa kompanijom ICTT bicemo u mogucnosti da svim tim
zajednicama obezbedimo strucnost i praksu ad hoc. ICTT ce imati punu
podrsku kompanije Saga, koja je distributer Sun proizvoda u zemlji, u
razvoju i podrsci interesa i mogucnosti koje se otvaraju zahvaljujuci
ovom partnerstvu.

"Imajuci u vidu proces tranzicije u Srbiji, kao i jasnu viziju vlade da
je upravo ekonomija zasnovana na informacionim tehnologijama put ka
uspehu, saradnja izmedju Sun Microsystems i ICTT-a predstavlja veliki
pomak u obezbe|ivanju zdrave osnove za razvoj novih IT kompanija",
reci su Konstantina Vuka Savicevica, predsednika kompanije ICTT. "Ovo
stratesko partnerstvo ce takodje pomoci domacim korporacijama da prihvate
nove tehnologije sa ciljem povecanja opste konkurentnosti."

Dr. Stanislav Polic, generalni direktor ICTT-a dodaje: "Ova inicijativa
pruza nasim preduzetnicima i IT strucnjacima priliku da razviju svoje
firme koristeci najnovije tehnologije industrijskog lidera. Mi verujemo
da Solaris, iPlanet i Forte okruzenja predstavljaju cvrstu platformu za
programere koji se odluce da lansiraju nove proizvode i usluge. To ce
biti prvi put da imamo takvu mogucnost u Jugoslaviji i ocekujemo da ce
ova inicijativa konacno resiti problem odliva mozgova".

Sta je SunONE
SunONE, pobednicki paket Sun softverskih proizvoda, je vizija kompanije,
arhitektura, platforma, ekspertiza, koja omogucava razvoj i pruzanje
usluga na zahtev korisnika. Pomocu svoje otvorene arhitekture koja se
lako integrise, SunONE prosiruje svoje postojece sisteme u cilju smanjenja
troskova i kompleksnosti istovremeno povecavajuci svoje prihode. SunONE
predstavlja znacajnu inicijativu u evolutivnom procesu kompanije Sun,
a to je jedna otvorena "end-to-end" arhitektura koja povecava ponudu
kompanije kroz sisteme i razvojna okruzenja. Procitajte vise o tome na
