access to local representatives to fulfill
their requests and support them over
time," said George Arabian, NetObjects'
senior director of international sales.

careful evaluation as the best companies
to extend NetObjects' image as a

America is rapidly evolving from building
infrastructure to creating and publishing
content. According to a report published

increase from 2.7 million in 1997 to over
