In April 2004, Webraska and Varetis sealed a strategic partnership and launched a joint solution for the Directory Assistance market.

As part of the agreement, Varetis and Webraska are working together to help wireless carriers and other service providers identify revenue opportunities and leverage existing investment in directory assistance infrastructure. The partners' integrated offer is designed to enable carriers and other service providers to seamlessly access location-based services from their directory assistance interface. Location-based services include directions for walking or driving, traffic information, and proximity searching for different points-of-interest such as hotels, restaurants, health care centers, petrol stations or shopping centers.

Varetis AG is the world's premier provider of professional directory solutions for carriers and information service providers, serving more than 240 telephone service centers and nearly 18,000 agent positions worldwide.
