Telecom and Datacom Professionals to Benefit From TMCnet.com and Newmediary Partnership

Online directory and RFP service will provide a marketplace for communications technology buyers and sellers

Newmediary, Inc., the leading provider of online directory solutions for content and community sites, and TMCnet.com, the next-generation communications Web portal produced by Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC), announced today a strategic partnership that will facilitate the search and negotiation process for communications technology. TMCnet.com's RFP Marketplace is online at http://rfp.tmcnet.com.

TMCnet.com imparts the necessary information for corporate decision makers to become next-generation communications technology evangelists. The partnership with Newmediary and the integration of an online directory and RFP service offers these professionals the resources to put that information to work by enabling the search, connection and negotiation process with companies in the converged communications and contact center technology sectors.

"Since 1972, TMC has committed itself to producing high-quality resources for its readers," said TMC president Rich Tehrani. "We believe that hosting a marketplace where buyers and sellers of communications technology can connect -- especially in today's economic climate -- furthers this goal. We're very excited about this partnership and the value it brings to our readers."

"Newmediary's powerful search and RFP tools will provide users with the perfect compliment to TMCnet.com's telecom information," said John Federman, CEO of Newmediary. "After gaining the knowledge needed on TMCnet.com, users can search for and find the vendors and providers they need on the RFP Marketplace -- simply, quickly and economically."
