HP and Intershop Launch Global Alliance
Palo Alto/San Francisco, June 7, 2000 - Hewlett-Packard Company and Intershop Communications today announced a global strategic alliance to deliver one-to-many e-commerce solutions based on Intershop’s enfinity software application and HP hardware technologies and services. HP and Intershop will promote and market the e-commerce solutions to customers, including medium- to large-sized businesses and dot coms. In addition, HP will deploy Intershop enfinity as one of the software applications used for its own Business-to-Business (B2B) e-commerce initiatives.
The alliance enables HP and Intershop customers quickly and easily to deploy a complete suite of sell-side e-commerce solutions based on Intershop’s enfinity, as well as leverage a readily available and scalable hardware platform. These solutions support the widest range of current and rapidly emerging e-commerce business models that enable businesses to sell anywhere on the Internet - through company and affiliate Web sites, online marketplaces, wireless devices, portals and machine-to-machine e-commerce - all on a single platform. “In the digital economy, customers need a robust platform on which they can rapidly deploy e-commerce solutions to take advantage of immediate market opportunities,” said Ann Livermore, president of HP’s Enterprise and Commercial Business. “With this alliance, Intershop brings a leading sell-side e-commerce platform to HP’s e-services solutions for both B2B and B2C-arenas.”
“Working with HP will help us deliver e-commerce solutions more quickly to market,” said Stephan Schambach, chief executive officer, Intershop. “This relationship will enable enterprise customers around the world to take advantage of our e-commerce offerings through HP’s line of highly scalable, reliable platforms.”
Customers will benefit from the comprehensive and tightly integrated e-commerce solutions, which can be up and running in some cases within 90 days, as businesses focus on getting to market sooner with marketplaces and other emerging e-commerce opportunities.
