WORLDSITES President Nigel Mayne announces creation of the Virtual Private Marketplace (VPM) for its network of franchisees - 5/5/2001

Toronto, Canada

Nigel Mayne Internet Visionary announces that Worldsites has created the first e-marketplace within the Internet franchise sector. Nigel Mayne explains that The Virtual Private Market Place (VPM) is a B2B system, which enables Worldsites Internet Consultants (ICs)and Production Centers to collaborate and transact business via the Internet. Nigel Mayne reveals that the core of the VPM is the MAPS™ system, which is a web-based project management and communication system.

Nigel Mayne states that according to International Data Corporation, e-markets are expected to generate over $2 trillion dollars of transactions by 2004. E-markets are ideally suited to businesses that support supply chain relationships such as Worldsites network of ICs and Production Centers. Nigel Mayne illustrates than an IC located in the US working with a mid-sized business to develop an e-commerce solution can leverage off the VPM. Nigel Mayne explains the process, “after the IC documents all design and functionality requirements, an on-line work estimate for the building of the solution is submitted to several Production Centers via MAPS™”. After the chosen Production Center completes the project and the IC’s client signs off the work, payment is made to the Production Center and the site is placed on-line. “The entire cycle is completed virtually and coordinated through the MAPS™ system” Nigel Mayne quotes. “The VPM and the MAPS system are integral components supporting our network of franchisees and the growth of our business model,” says President Nigel Mayne. “The VPM model is highly scalable and will accommodate thousands of additional business relationships as Worldsites continues it’s phenomenal growth” Nigel Mayne confidently states.
