Compaq taps e-business trend CEO says company more than just computer maker By Deborah Adamson, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 6:00 PM ET Nov 17, 1999 E-Commerce Net Stocks LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- Calling the Internet the "integration point" of e-business, Compaq chief executive Michael Capellas on Wednesday shared his vision of his company's expanding role in e-commerce, in an attempt to shed Compaq's image as just a computer maker. With more than half of its revenue coming from enterprise solutions, Compaq (CPQ: news, msgs) is poised to benefit from the e-business trend, said Capellas, addressing an audience of computer developers at the Oracle Open World conference. The former Oracle executive who's newly minted at Compaq said that the Internet infrastructure must seamlessly merge content, connectivity and computation. Compaq's Nonstop EBusiness Solutions provides that backbone, he added. Oracle's Internet Platform and e-business applications are anchored on Nonstop systems. A challenge for those in e-business is to make sure their systems are up and running all the time, not even going down for routine maintenance. System outages will cost a company in lost sales, since the competition is "no more than two clicks away," Capellas said. Compaq's goals include increasing its leadership position in standards-based servers and striving to take the lead in network storage. On Wednesday, Compaq's stock was up 2 to 23 2/4 on volume of 39.1 million shares.
