Critical Path (CPTH)
, a leading provider of
business-to-business Internet messaging solutions for corporations and
ISPs, expects the acquisition to broaden its
spectrum of messaging solutions.
"FaxNet is joining Critical Path at the forefront of the rapidly developing
Internet messaging revolution," said Keith Cooper president and chief
executive officer of
FaxNet.
"By combining the respective strengths of both company's, Critical
Path significantly enhances its ability to meet the growing demands
of its diverse customer base and to offer the most comprehensive Internet
messaging solutions available today."
