''BroadVision fundamentally supports our business goal of providing online insurance quotes leveraging the Quicken brand over the Internet. Using the latest release of the BroadVision solution we will be up-and-running in less than 90 days with virtually all of the customization needed built with easy to use server-side JavaScript.''
''The extended enterprise surpasses the boundaries of the physical enterprise to encompass employees, partners, customers and customer's customers and strains conventional communication channels because of the number of people involved,'' said Dr. Pehong Chen, president and CEO of BroadVision. ''The objective of XRM is to expand conventional communication channels with the effective use of personalization at all points of interaction to enhance marketing, selling and service relationships. BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise Version 4 fulfills our mission to assist companies in meeting the challenges posed by XRM by providing highly scalable one-to-one Internet applications that integrate with existing enterprise systems and applications, are consistent across multiple customer touch points and are designed for the casual user.''
''With the latest version of BroadVision, much of the functionality organizations require to deploy marketing, e-commerce and customer service applications is delivered 'out-of-the-box,''' said Vernon Keenan, an Internet analyst with Keenan Vision, a Internet market research firm based in San Francisco. ''Using the BroadVision solution creates a compelling return on investment for an enterprise versus the time and cost of developing and maintaining a solution built by hand.''
