Presentation

 

7WAYS is a French company located in Sophia Antipolis, the famous "European Telecom Valley" in the south of Europe, specialized in developing internet solutions for companies.

Through its registration platform, TLDnames.com, the company commercializes domain names under .com, .org, .net. 7WAYS has been operational since December 1999 and is an accredited ICANN and CORE Registrar. It is also accredited by AFNIC for French national registration under .fr.

 

High technology

7WAYS technology is backed by recognized expertise in network security and transactional applications (payment, identification, authentification).

 

TLDnames is the first and only domain name registration site where registrations, modifications, administrative management and payment via an electronic wallet are fully automatized and easily accessible in real time through the web. Over 10 000 professionals now use the secured electronic wallet.

 

“Domain name registration on WAP”

Internet projects are thriving, and it is not unusual to see people decide to get on the Net after talking about it with friends over dinner or a drink. As the hard law of the Internet is “first come, first served”, 7WAYS has set up the first and only domain name registration platform through mobile. From now on you can check, register and pay for your domain name in a complete secured way : http://wap.tldnames.com.

 

“Email : the reseller solution”

7WAYS is eager to supply internet professionals with supple solutions so it has developped a Registration system thtat integrates all eseller internet site configurations. This blank interface lets the reseller develop his domain name registration activity without informing the client of his reseller status. Exchanges between the reseller site and the TLDnames registration platform are by encrypted email and it is an automated process. It takes less that 3 seconds to create a domain name.

 

“TKS : Turn key solutions”

Apart from registering domain names, the company’s technological expertise, recognized worldwide, prompts many large groups to solicit 7WAYS to find turn key solutions or help them overcome technological barriers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Centercard : an innovative project”

7WAYS has created CenterCard for business centers. This project was immediately supported by the Ernst an Young firm. With the needs of mobile workers throughout the world in mind, the platform integrates multimedia services. This is due to 3 complementary points.

-         control authentification and security ensured by smart card

-         access at a distance to all secured information via Internet.

-         the use of human resources physically available in the Business Centers which guarantees them the best ‘time to market”.

 

CenterCard was placed among the 30 best projects (out of 300) during the “Tremplin Entreprises” convention which was organized by the SENAT on June 29-30, 1999.

It also ranked among the 20 best European projects (out of over 500) during the Paris “Capital-It” event in October 1999.

 

 

Intervieuw :

As Eric LANTONNET, 7WAYS President and Managing director explains : “our ambition is to carry through our innovative projects such as CenterCard and to develop and improve domain name registration system on the Net. In substance, requests are flowing in and “the whole planet wants to be a reseller through TLDnames.com”.

 

Olivier HOCH, 7WAYS General Manager says : “we have concentrated our creative efforts to find solutions rather than produce a product. To do this, we have developed an aggressive strategic employment policy that attracts leading internationally recognized engineers. Our technological and industrial alliance policy allows us to bring our partners speedy integration which guarantees them the best “Time to market”.
