Y3K Technology Drives the Launch of ConsumerFirstShopping.com Unique Online Shopping Network Offered Exclusively by Consumer First BELLEVUE, WA, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Y3K Secure Enterprise Software, Inc., (OTC/BB: YTHK), an end-to-end unified communications and technologies company serving the small to medium sized business market, announced today the completion and launch of ConsumerFirstShopping.com, the online shopping club offered by Consumer First, a national financial services and consumer marketing company. Y3K and its technology partners developed the transaction management software that aggregates merchants and tracks online transactions. The custom, server-based, enterprise software package licensed to Consumer First provides powerful network infrastructures for data management and manipulation, site search and navigation, affiliate tracking and communication requirements. The system catalysts provide software applications that are readily administered and managed by Consumer First and its national sales team. The design of the transaction management software is part of a licensing agreement through which Y3K receives a percentage of the commissions paid by the merchants in the affiliate program and a percentage of the merchant sign up fee. Currently, ConsumerFirstShopping.com has over 100 merchants, and is expected to grow through the 7,000 member national sales force of Consumer First. The built in "buyers club" of more than 45,000 registered cardholders and advocates of Consumer First can choose from popular name brands ranging from Avon and Blue Nile Jewelry to Disney, Dell Computers and Petco. This Consumer First model is an historical first in which consumers receive benefits when consumers spend at any of the businesses within the network. "We are very pleased with the functionality of the custom transaction management software developed by Y3K and its technology partners," stated Stuart Graham, CEO of Consumer First. "We unveiled the network this past weekend to our sales force and members, and they found the system very easy to use and they are excited about selling the program to businesses across the nation."
