When people think about E-business, they think about new ways of doing business, about new business models. They think about servers, networks and aspects like up-time, availability and reliability. What they normally do not think about is software. That is changing now. That is the change we sought to bring about in the Indian marketplace last year with considerable success.
Software is what makes E-business work.
We believe software is the soul of E-business. It is the choice of software that leads to an E-business solution. In 2001, it would be our endeavour to penetrate the market further with software offerings that are tried and tested and used by key solution providers. IBM WebSphere Commerce Suite is the most comprehensive E-business platform that can help firms build and deploy business processes on the Web, while our data management solutions help companies make detailed analysis of their data. We've not seen any action since.
