Chipmaker Intel yesterday announced its e-business solutions provider (eBSP) programme in India. This provides e business solutions providers with the latest infrastructure and training to take their customers' businesses to the Web successfully.
"In the last two years, we have recast ourselves as a supplier of technology to the Internet economy from just being a building block supplier to the new computer industry," said Sean Maloney, senior vice-president of Intel Corporation and director of the sales and marketing group, responsible for sales operations worldwide, addressing a press conference held here yesterday.
"Businesses that sell to each other will do so increasingly on the Web as it is a more efficient process. The question is how, because it is going to be very difficult," Maloney said.
Maloney said eBSP plan allows developers to take advantage of a catalogue of Intel resources to develop, market and sell e-business applications and solutions. Developer support to the eBSP's will include access to on-line resource targeted at software developers. Intel will also dedicate engineering and marketing staff to provide latest information of tools and software.
The plan is to be shortly launched in Europe and America.
"The programme will have three key elements, i.e. technology, marketing and business development," said Narendra Bhandari, manager, India Content Group, Intel.
