Hewlett‐Packard and the intranet — case study and alliances

Abstract

Hewlett‐Packard has implemented a corporate intranet to support mission‐critical systems that rivals the global Internet in scale. This paper discusses the drivers and results achieved through its implementation and looks to the near future for its next evolution. Hewlett‐Packard and Netscape Communications have recently announced an alliance aimed at ‘Delivering enterprise intranet solutions’. The second part of this paper describes the form this will take focusing on the technology areas currently under ongoing joint development.
