CPQ receives "Radioactive" Award................................. Tuesday March 31, 11:58 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Current Analysis Honors Compaq Computer Corporation With RADIOACTIVE Award Current Analysis recognizes the potential of Compaq's new Internet Commerce Business Solutions to impact users, Internet Commerce vendors and service providers STERLING, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 1998-- Current Analysis today awarded Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ - news) with a RADIOACTIVE Award(tm) for the recent high-impact announcement of its Internet commerce product offerings. More than 200 companies at the Internet Commerce Expo (ICE) in Boston, March 23-26, competed for this noted award, honoring the most influential and innovative Internet Commerce solution. Compaq's solution was judged to be the most influential product rollout announced at ICE. Current Analysis chose Compaq for the RADIOACTIVE Award based on the depth of its solution as well as its introduction of a comprehensive ''quick-start'' program to aid end users. By bundling third-party commerce software with Compaq equipment and leveraging its acquisition of Tandem, Compaq is helping to empower its customers to take advantage of possible increased sales through Internet transactions. ''As Internet Commerce grows in importance as a mainstream business channel, so does the importance of new applications and services supporting this explosive sector of technology,'' said Scott Smith, principal analyst, Internet Commerce Service, Current Analysis. ''Based on the outline and delivery of Compaq's strategy thus far, we believe the company presents the most robust, fully integrated and full-featured package for Internet Commerce yet announced by a top-tier technology vendor.'' Compaq's comprehensive solutions will help to change the way companies conduct business over the Internet. The company has looked to third-party vendors such as Entrust, Microsoft, GlobeSet and Raptor to bundle solutions that suit the entire commerce chain, from consumers and business buyers to developers, merchants and ISPs. Compaq is also providing integrated offerings with Tandem that will provide users with a secure, integrated infrastructure and back office.
