GTE Internetworking
unveiled this week an integrated Internet service solution targeting
enterprises.
Re@ch
Enterprise is designed to provide Global 2000 companies with the tools
necessary for extending their businesses to the Web.
The Re@ch service comprises three components: Knowledge Re@ch, an
extranet-based service that facilitates the delivery of information to a
corporation’s customers and partners; Commerce Re@ch, an e-commerce
application that includes online catalog, order fulfillment, and delivery
services; and Service Re@ch, an electronic customer support service that
enables users to track billing and shipment information.
Eastman Software, a subsidiary
of Eastman Kodak, is one such company that implemented the enterprise
solution, setting up a corporate extranet entitled The Knowledge eXchange
(TKX). GTE Internetworking had built and now hosts TKX with Eastman, which
provides Eastman employees and business partners with a source to access
corporate data, show product demos, or collaborate on projects.
Knowledge Re@ch, incorporating technologies from Oracle, Netscape, and
Verity, is available now. Commerce Re@ch is accessible now as a component
of Knowledge Re@ch or as a standalone service. Users will be able to
subscribe to the Service Re@ch service later this year.
