<<Michael Dell Says Internet Will Be As Fundamental as Electricity
Businesses, Consumers Will Need Robust, Reliable Web Infrastructure
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 15, 2000--The chairman of Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) said today the new Internet economy -- from e-mail to e-commerce to e-support -- demands that information technology systems become as reliable, flexible, manageable and scaleable as the country's energy infrastructure.
"The Internet will become as fundamental to your business as electricity," Michael Dell told business leaders attending the Windows 2000 Deployment Conference for the new Microsoft Corp. computer operating system.
"Businesses will need an information technology infrastructure that possesses the same attributes of systems that provide electricity whenever and wherever needed, at the click of a switch, to power anything from a small store to an entire city," Mr. Dell said.
Dell, the world's leading direct computer systems company, is a pioneer of Web-enabled business computing systems and operates one of the world's largest e-commerce sites, with more than $40 million a day in sales at www.dell.com. >>
Kemble: DELL is up almost 4% today....hmmm....that hasn't happened in quite a while....It's long overdue....I admire your commitment to DELL.
BTW, DELL Corporation did VERY WELL with its investments in Lante and WebMethods <G>...
Best Regards,
