1 Introduction

Net2MAX's four major advantages can only be delivered if there are some online services to manage!

2 Open Source Online Services

As a demonstration of the benefits of the Management Platform and also to provide a starting point for members without existing online services, Net2MAX has created a basic management platform called One Click Contact (1CC) with a baseline set of online services already built-in - using Open Source technologies.

Following is a comparison between the open source online services (enhanced with the 1CC platform) and some existing well known online services.

3 Other Online Services

Although the table above illustrates quite well Net2MAX's ability to combine the power of a large number of different open source based services into a synergistic whole, Net2MAX is NOT in competition with the other online services - Net2MAX has a complementary (platform instead of service based) focus.

Net2MAX members and communities are encouraged to build their OWN platforms using online services that fit THEIR needs, for example, use You Tube to replace the bundled Media Gallery, use Skype to replace the bundled Web Phone, use eBay to repalce the bundled commerce exchange, use MSN to replace the bundled Instant Messenger, use Paypal to replace the bundled online payment system etc. etc.

There will always be new and better online services. Net2MAX's core business is not to built online services but to enable access to any popular services required by our members ... in an effective, efficient and secure manner.
