History
Klatu was incorporated in 1999 and remained in planning until the end of 2000, when we decided to create a regional e-commerce reseller of computer and office products serving the Caribbean and Latin America.   -The decision to go ahead was made over margaritas in Chevy's, a nearby Mexican restaurant.  Development of eCom (Klatu's core e-commerce application) took nerly two years and in 2002 the company began to license and market its e-commerce solutions. Klatu is in the business of providing multi-lingual international e-commerce tools and solutions for resellers, distributors and manufacturers that supply Latin America, the Caribbean and the rest of the World.

Origin of the word Klatu
Klatu comes from the Indo-European root "kell" or "kla", meaning "to shout, resound, instruct, or make clear".  Also, it is the 3rd conjugation (Supine) of the Slavonic word "Kol'-Je", meaning "to stab".  Also, "Klaatu" was the name of the space visitor in the 1951 movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still".  In the movie, now a science-fiction classic, a flying saucer lands on the mall in Washington D.C.  DtESS is available on VHS and CD on Amazon.Com.
