Speech of the President


Düsseldorf – UBZ is keeping faith with digital development: The company is to invest EUR 1.7 billion in its Digital Business Segment this year. The EUR 1.4 billion to be spent for new trail development software in this sector accounts for almost half of the UBZ's total capital expenditure budget of EUR 3.1 billion. A further EUR 300 million is to be invested in the research and development of new materials, like GPS and communication systems, cooking devices and beverage products. Though our President was on a business trip in Poland, he managed to get coverage for his speech by means of a huge video screen in the dealing room. "This underscores our commitment to our participants, one of the four core areas of our company," UBZ Board member and CEO Jop Planje told some 150 journalists from 25 countries who attended a press conference held in Düsseldorf in advance of the Z 2001 trail trade fair. Another focus of investment was in the consistent expansion of the company's eBusiness activities. Mr. Planje announced the establishment of the integrated transaction portal "Global ZoutOne", which will enable the Business Groups to conduct centralized and standardized business processes worldwide on the Internet as from October of this year and at the same time improve the flow of information in the interests of our customers.

External Reactions


Mrs. N. Brink, former CEO of World Online made following comments:
"Tja, ik ken ze nog wel die jongens van UBZ. En zeker nu ik weer wat meer tijd heb, loop ik vaker een rondje met Poes Minet door Brasschaat (die ellendige journalisten blijven nu gelukkig een beetje weg). En dan valt op wat een faantaastisch produkt ze eigelijk hebben. Maar het businessplan van UBZ lijkt nergens naar hoor! Maar de meeste mensen kunnen toch niet lezen, de meeste prospectussen worden ook niet gelezen wat er ook instaat. Ik heb ze als eens eerder gezegd dat ze veel meer op virtual reality moeten gaan, dan hoef je voor die routes niet meer het huis uit. Echte Freedom of Movement dus. Ik heb tijdens de, zal ik maar zeggen, World Online affaire ook de hele dag met zo'n helm opgelopen, en ik moet zeggen: het werkt verademend. Afwisselend tussen Stuake II (een soort Quake, maar dan op de beursvloer) en "Ein Abend mit Andre Rieux". En nu moet ik wel zeggen dat ik hem tijdens de afwas wel afzet, want het blijft lastig met afdrogen. Nou leuk dat ik toch niet helemaal vergeten ben, en die 1500 Euro voor dit artikel zijn weer goed voor het rampenfonds."

Outdoor Internet around the Globe


Amsterdam, the Netherlands, July 2001 – Outdoor Internet BV, 100 percent subsidiary of UBZ AG and one of the largest suppliers of web-hosting services in the Netherlands, announced today that the company has launched a series of new dedicated and shared hosting products targeted at the Dutch outdoor market. The new product launches will be supported by a marketing campaign featuring Outdoor Internet's new professional image as a hosting specialist and company logo. Outdoor Internet has achieved widespread recognition as a specialist in Linux, the operating system that is highly regarded by technical experts. Since 1996, the Amsterdam-based company has developed into one of the Dutch market leaders in shared hosting services for the business market. Starting this week, Outdoor Internet is also offering dedicated hosting for Linux, giving the client exclusive use of a server of their own. In addition Outdoor Internet is also launching further attacks on dedicated hosting products based on Microsoft’s technology to further serve corporate customer needs. Quoting Mr. Steve Balmer this new strategy "should be considered a serious treat to Microsoft's business". In addition to new Linux shared and dedicated hosting products, the company will shortly introduce co-location services and media streaming products. With clients like Voorhuid TV, Allways-On-Top®, "Het Sterrenbosch" and "Het Pumpke", Outdoor Internet is already a major player in broadband applications for the media market.


Mr. E.J Putz, Managing Director of Outdoor Internet, and CTO of UBZ AG, together with his team, stated: “The introduction of a robust, reliable and cost effective dedicated hosting product is a key element to our business strategy. Currently, Outdoor Internet is able to provide the industrial strength hosting solutions that are required by corporations today in order to support mission critical applications over the Internet. The knowledge and skills accumulated as the leading provider of web hosting solutions over the past five years in the Dutch market and the backing by our parent company, UBZ AG, and their state of the art, fibre based broadband network and data center facilities, position Outdoor Internet as a leading candidate to take advantage of the next Internet revolution. After this rubbish, you're not supposed to listen anymore.”
