HP 3000 News SpotlightHP Touts 3000 for E-Services HP Touts 3000 for E-ServicesHP has been pushing its e-services strategy in trade show presentations, advertisements, press conferences, and just about anywhere the company has a presence. But if HP 3000 users think the HP 3000 is getting lost in the shuffle-in all the talk of Internet devices, revenue-sharing deals, and partnerships with ERP vendors-they haven't been paying attention.
HP's Commercial Systems Division (CSY) has, in fact, been touting the 3000 as an ideal platform for e-services since last summer. Now it is driving the message home. CSY's Web site has unveiled a new "HP 3000 Apps-on-Tap Connection" that offers links to information on how the 3000 fits into e-services.
The latest issue of the HP 3000 Advisor also showcases the HP 3000 and e-services. The publication touts applications, connectivity and interoperability solutions, databases, and storage solutions that carry the 3000 right to the center of the new e-services world.
