DCI has agreed to offer its membership through 11880.com channels with immediate effect. Both companies will also invest in joint marketing efforts. This new alliance gives DCI access to some 3.5 million potential corporate customers. For an attractive annual fixed fee, these new customers have the option of subscribing to DCI’s brokerage services. The Telegate online portal (www.11880.com) and the DCI WebTradeCenter (www.webtradecenter.de) infrastructures will be networked to enable inter-company access to address pools and service offerings.
