India beckons Aussie Web tools developer

Netcat.biz, a Sydney-based developer of content management applications, plans to make an impact on the vast Indian market through an alliance it has negotiated with One-Associates Technologies, a Pune-based group that helps young companies take products to market (www.one-associates.com).

Under the terms of the agreement with Netcat.biz, One-Associates will market the Netcat Web content management suite to its clients in the education and government markets, explained Bruce Wren, CEO of Netcat.

"This agreement has the potential to double the size of our business very quickly," Wren claimed. "One-Associates has a strong focus in the booming Indian education market where there are 17,000 higher education institutes serving more than 10 million students. The regional government market alone is an untapped market for Web content management with 35 states and 49 central government departments," he added.

Wren stressed that Netcat.biz will continue to use Australian developers in Australia to enhance its software.
