RosBusinessConsulting agency (RBC) and AltaVista have signed a partnership agreement that will allow the RBC to represent AltaVista in Russia.

AltaVista's business model in Russia is to sell corporate solutions via its search engine. Their model differs from the model Lycos set up in a Russian office last summer to build internet portals.

AltaVista is well-known to internet users as a global search system. Now, however, AltaVista is also using their search engine in corporate sites and other information systems.

Experts from the RBC and AltaVista both helped adopt an English language solution. Now, AltaVista's system is able to provide a search using translations from the Russian language.
