NEW YORK, Nov 9, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Wall Street Transcript, 212-952-7433 or twst.com, has just made available a report on e-Business as part of the special 192-page edition produced for the Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown TECH 99 e-Business: Vision and Reality Conference. Featuring interviews with eleven leading analysts plus CEOs or top management from 44 companies, this special issue offers an excellent current review for analysts, investors, and companies. 1) e-Process & e-Business Solutions -- Director and Senior Research Analyst James Moore with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown offers an insightful, extensive (3,200 words) analysis of the exploding e-Process & e-Business sector, including the outlook for the sector, compounded growth rates of more than 70%, niche sectors, Internet efficiency benefits and offers specific stock recommendations. We see the Internet driving fundamental changes in the global corporate environment, and we believe that these changes are more than just automation, Moore states, "By leveraging the Internet, companies are creating hyper- efficient business processes, which is the reason that we have coined the phrase "e-Process." Furthermore, we use the term revolution because we're witnessing a sudden and radical change in how businesses operate that is driven largely by the ability to become more nimble, lean and efficient by using the Internet. The e-Process Revolution implies more than simply putting up a Web site and refers to all of the other things that can be accomplished with this technology." The most efficient companies have real-time scalable communication infrastructures that facilitate collaboration with subcomponent vendors and efficient processes for making product changes and introducing new product initiatives, Moore states, "PairGain Technologies, which redesigned its HDSL product to obtain significant cost reductions. The company submitted the engineering change order to the materials management and manufacturing people, who responded that it was possible to implement the change but that it would take nine months. This was not acceptable because the product's life cycle was only one to two years. PairGain completely redesigned its supply chain using an Internet-centric product from Agile Software (Nasdaq: AGIL). PairGain reduced its inventory by millions of dollars within a year and cut cycle times by significantly more than two months." (This was copied from the Yahoo Pair thread.)
