E-services Solutions

While the Web has allowed companies so far to sell products and services online and to improve

their business processes, a new wave of services is rising up. HP e-services strategy shifts the

Internet from a being a collection of Web sites to a network of nimble interconnected e-services.

E-services are resources that businesses and consumers can tap into through the Internet.

While some of these resources will still be available on web sites, most will work behind the

scenes, automatically linking together chains of transactions and tasks on the fly. With the

reliability, stability, and the world class transaction server, the HP e3000 fits well in the new

e-services paradigm. There are three major trends in the e-services model:

1. Apps-on-tap is a way for companies to utilize information technology. Rather than build large,

complex systems themselves, they can “rent” e-services that do the same job.

2. E-services portal: a portal where all the services offered are linked so that when one service

makes a change, all the other services are notified and can take appropriate action

3. Brokering. Customers can send out requests for services via the Internet. E-services brokers

will bid to handle these requests

In fact, HP e3000 has already been participating in the e-service world. Here are some of the

Apps-on-tap e-services examples:
