Netscape and Hewlett-Packard seek corporate network business

Article Abstract:

Netscape Communications and HP form a non-exclusive partnership that targets the corporate intranet market. Analysts say the partnership highlights the importance of intranets, which are expected to generate a market worth billions. Analysts also point out that the alliance is especially helpful to Netscape, which is seeking to increase corporate acceptance of its products. Meanwhile, HP benefits from having a broader range of network software products to offer customers. HP says the companies will jointly develop software for Unix and Microsoft Windows NT, and HP will use its worldwide marketing, sales, consulting and product-support services to market both the jointly developed software and Netscape's existing products. In addition to its well known browser, Netscape has a number of programs that consolidate and automate network functions; officials say the company already earns 80% of its revenue from corporate sales.
