In the e-commerce world, the HP e3000 brings customers, both new and existing, the capabili-
ties to establish and maintain their Web presence quickly, easily and reliably, and to provide the
kind of e-commerce solutions their customers are looking for. From the HP perspective, we rec-
ognize that seamless, reliable network computing is essential for e-commerce. Because the
HP e3000 is so highly interoperable with virtually all platforms (UNIX, Windows NT, etc.), it is
well positioned for this new “e-world.”
When web enabling for e-commerce applications, rapid deployment to take advantage of chang-
ing business opportunities are key, as well as the ability to take advantage of new web technolo-
gies to provide the best solutions for conducting business over the Internet. Leveraging the
mission critical applications on the HP e3000 allows customers to react to business opportuni-
ties and the needs of their customers. By extending their existing HP e3000 solutions to provide
e-commerce solutions, customers are able to utilize the full functionality and data already on
the HP e3000 without having to duplicate or “reinvent the wheel”.
The HP e3000 is so successful in bringing real world applications to the Internet because it has
been running mission-critical applications for so many years. And these are exactly the kinds of
applications customers need. Customers are able to leverage the best strengths of the HP e3000
with the best web-enabling technologies, products and middleware for extremely capable and
proficient e-commerce solutions.
