Cambridge Technology Partners showcases Internet integration at Enterprise Computing Solutions and Uniforum exposition; Real-world Applications Harness Internet Capabilities for Competitive Advantage.

Technology Partners (Nasdaq: CATP) (CTP), Cambridge, Mass., a leading client/server systems integrator, will demonstrate real-world, enterprise-wide Internet solutions in its EnterpriseLive Pavilion (booth 2402) at Enterprise Computing Solutions, here at the Moscone Center, February 14-16, 1996. The EnterpriseLive Pavilion will be the only booth to feature the integration of multiple software packages and hardware from over eight different market-leading vendors to form an electronic commerce application that defines a new way of doing business using the Internet and Intranet technology and concepts.

"Today's enterprise is a complex mixture of business units, offices, divisions, customers, partners, suppliers and distributors," said Malcolm Frank, vice president of Marketing, CTP. "We recognize that the Internet provides a powerful and cost-effective tool for linking crucial systems and processes to create an integrated enterprise. By improving and facilitating more widespread communications, the Internet also provides competitive advantage by expediting organizational decision-making and deliverables, whether it's deploying technology initiatives or getting product to market in record time."

CTP's EnterpriseLive Pavilion displays enterprise-wide Internet solutions for managing knowledge, sharing information, interacting with customers, and integrating disparate applications and platforms. Known for its rapid application development and deployment methodology, CTP partnered with a number of leading software vendors, including Arbor Software, Aurum, Informix, Open Software Associates, and Remedy, to design and implement a flexible architecture that links the front office to the existing back office application. The applications are deployed on heterogeneous operating systems and hardware platforms, including those from Sun, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard. All applications have been Web-enabled using Open Software Associates' OpenWEB product. The demonstration areas include:

o Lead Generation and Order Tracking -- World Wide Web users can record purchase interests and track the status of their orders using intuitive and speedy graphical user interfaces produced by Open Software Associates' OpenUI product.

o Sales Force Automation -- Remedy's AR System Action Request provides a fast, cost-effective way for the sales force to track leads entered on the Web and share sales information to shorten the sales cycle.

o Order Management -- Remedy's Flashboard product, integrated with the Internet, provides a direct link with customers and suppliers to make order processing faster and more efficient, and enables companies to track orders more easily.

o On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) -- Arbor Software's Essbase multidimensional database server provides a consolidated source of information for planning, analysis, and management reporting. By launching an Essbase application from an intranet site, business information can be analyzed by region, product, time period, account, sales channel or customer to help managers make fast, well-informed decisions.

o Systems Management/Help Desk -- By integrating software from Hewlett-Packard and Remedy with the Internet, organizations can quickly deploy an application to automate systems management functions. This provides information to quickly dispatch and resolve technical problems via help desk and paging technology.

o Groupware -- Lotus Notes integrated with the Internet demonstrates how an organization provides customer support and shares information internally more effectively and collaboratively.

o Intranets -- CTP's KnowledgeShare, a customized intranet-based knowledge management system, creates a central information repository for companies to capture, apply, and share internal knowledge, using the open communications capabilities of the Internet and World Wide Web.

o The Data Warehouse -- Informix's software allows for the integration of data into a single repository. The data warehouse gives decision makers easy access to data from multiple sources and ensures that data is accurate.

o Internet Applications/Electronic Commerce -- Customized applications using electronic commerce technologies put companies closer to their customers. Organizations can communicate with customers and suppliers via the Internet for order placement, status reports, updated customer information or to check on invoices and billing. CTP will demonstrate a real-world electronic commerce application developed for one of its clients.

o Customer Management System -- With help from Sun Microsystems, CTP used open computing technologies to develop and deploy a comprehensive customer management system, that provides customer profiles and reduces customer response times. CTP will explain how organizations linking these systems to the Internet in the future, will have the competitive advantage of distinguishing themselves in their industries, by providing new emerging technologies for increased customer service.

o Customer Management Best Practices -- The Internet's new customer interaction paradigm requires organizations to significantly change the way they support their customers and respond to their requests. Axiom, a subsidiary of CTP, will demonstrate Rapid Business Renewal (RBR) methodology for helping clients rapidly innovate and deploy high-impact customer management initiatives.

CTP's Web Integration Initiative

CTP also recently announced a major Web Integration initiative, which leverages CTP's expertise in integrating external Web sites with strategic business applications built on internal networks.

CTP's Internet initiative also includes training and marketing agreements with Netscape and Sun Microsystems and other companies.

In late 1995, CTP announced KnowledgeShare Knowledge Management System, a new suite of products and services for building and maintaining Intranet-based solutions to help customers share and process knowledge across the enterprise. KnowledgeShare also can be used as the Web architecture upon which to build customer interaction and electronic commerce systems.
