and New BroadVision Products

BroadVision(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: BVSN), the leading provider of personalized e-business applications, announced that the Hewlett-Packard Company is extending its relationship with BroadVision, which includes $35 million (U.S.) commitment to BroadVision announced in April 1999. Under the terms of the extended alliance, HP and BroadVision will expand their reseller relationship and allocate more dedicated resources from both companies over the next three years for the development, sale, systems integration and support of a complete suite of pre-integrated, best-in-class e-business solutions and services.

With the extended relationship, HP will resell, provide systems integration services and support all of BroadVision's suite of packaged, vertical applications including One-To-One Publishing, Procurement, MarketMaker, Enterprise Relationship Management and One-To-One Billing. HP will continue to offer complete e-business solutions built on open standards, integrating seamlessly with back-end ERP and legacy systems of enterprise customers.

"HP's commitment to BroadVision illustrates our shared vision of providing customers a breadth of personalization offerings to the entire e-commerce value chain. We are working closely to bring together a complete suite of integrated, best-in-class applications and services, based on BroadVision's e-commerce applications and HP's own software portfolio for manageability, reliability and security," said Bill Russell, vice president of HP's Software and Solutions Organization.

Joint Successes To Date

Since the announcement of the strategic relationship last April 1999, HP and BroadVision has exceeded expectations in areas of product development, joint customers and new ventures. With BroadVision solutions deployed across several HP divisions worldwide, both companies also have sold enterprise commerce and business-portal solutions to international customers and partners signing more than 70 joint deals with customers in both B2C and B2B markets and in verticals such as retail/wholesale, financial services, manufacturing/high-tech, travel/tourism, agriculture, and telecommunications including Wal-Mart Stores, Home Depot, Charitableway.com, WebPRN, NEC PC, Long's Drugs, Frost Bank, Bell Atlantic, United Grain Growers, Rand McNally and Ernst & Young.
