Ericsson
"Ericsson recognised some time ago that Hewlett-Packard had created many unique features in e-speak. These features not only enable the rapid development of both today's (2G) and third generation wireless (3G) communications applications but bring new benefits for both mobile network operators and their customers. Matching customer profiles and requirements with Field Engineer profiles, skill-level and availability is but one example. The Ericsson Mobile Positioning System and the Positioning application is an excellent example of an e-speak enabled application for use in the Mobile Internet. It combines e-speak with Ericsson's extensive applications knowledge gained through working closely with mobile network operators world-wide."

British Telecommunications plc
British Telecommunications plc (BT) is one of the United Kingdom's great success stories. Originally a state-owned provider of telecommunications services in the United Kingdom, it is now a major international communications group and one of Europe's largest private sector companies. It is continuing to grow vigorously, with group turnover increasing by nearly 14 percent in 1999, and pre-tax profits reaching $7 billion. At home, BT operates nearly 28 million customer lines, with calls made in and from the United Kingdom currently accounting for 40 percent of group turnover. However, the nature of the United Kingdom market is changing. As a consequence of deregulation, one of BT's fastest-growing areas of business in the United Kingdom is carrying interconnect calls for other licensed operators. Where nine years ago there were only three United Kingdom operators, there are now 160.
"Basically, we wanted a solution that would provide us with double the performance. There was no question of changing the architecture, particularly since HP had been such a good partner for nine years. However, we were very glad to have the chance to try out HP's new N-Class server range.
"The benchmark results exceeded our expectations by a wide margin. Instead of the expected doubling of performance, we got a fourfold increase and we did not have to modify any code to run the application on HP-UX 11. This gave us confidence that our needs would be more than adequately met by the new server range.
