WHITE PAPER (cont.) Fast at Solutions Compaq is the industry-leading supplier of partner solutions. We have sought the best minds in the industry so that together we can find the best answers-everything from Internet commerce to outcomes-based decision support. The MCAD and Collaborative Product Commerce markets are part of this effort. But in a highly-competitive market, having the right solutions is not enough. You have to be able to implement them faster than the competition. Compaq has made the investments to achieve this. Peak Performance through Partnerships Compaq partners with companies such as Parametric Technology Corporation to delivery complete solutions of the highest quality for our customers, more rapidly and consistently than our competitors. To ensure this happens quickly and with the highest quality, Compaq maintains multiple testing labs. One is located at PTC in Waltham, MA. Compaq software engineers are on site to work with PTC's application designers and QA department. In Compaq's labs in Littleton, MA and Houston, TX, PTC software is used as part of the workstation development process. The goal of these labs is to maximize the performance of our new workstations running PTC software, prior to the first customer shipment, and to formally certify these products to PTC's rigorous QA certification process as rapidly as possible. With this process in place, customers get top quality hardware designed to run at peak performance with their favorite PTC applications. Most of our competitors do not have this level of investment in application quality testing and solution assurance. Responsive Compaq is committed to forging stronger relationships with our customers through focused, global enterprise account management, industry-leading service and support, and a commitment to sell the way customers want to buy. Compaq now has one of the world's greatest service and support organizations: some 27,000 IT experts in more than 100 countries providing a central source of advice, assistance, and accountability for even the most complex multivendor network. We offer a comprehensive portfolio of support services delivered by certified and trained experts.
