March 30, 2001 (Herndon, Virginia) VIDAR Systems Corporation, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of wide-format scanning solutions, today announces a valuable addition to their Web site, a Worldwide Partner Online Forum—PartnerNet. VIDAR’s Partner Online Forum, PartnerNet, was developed as a message board for VIDAR worldwide partners and employees. This message board was created to share information, comments and questions about VIDAR products and solutions. PartnerNet is set up with five different forums with moderators for each. The five forums consist of black-and-white products, color products, technical discussions, sales and marketing, and software. PartnerNet features include extensive search capabilities within the message board, an FAQ section to assist users with any questions or comments, user created name, password and profile, and each time a user logs on to the forum, the message board will inform them of the last time they visited and if there are any new posts to any of the forums since they last visited. PartnerNet is another valuable example of VIDAR’s objective to provide open communication between VIDAR ‘s partners. PartnerNet not only allows partners to share information with other partners, but also with VIDAR employees. PartnerNet will open an additional avenue to keep all partners connected with each other and VIDAR to confer competitive information, new product information, existing product information and problem solving.
