财富精英励志演讲 第160期:携手打造电子化世界(12)

 In the past three years, HP's systems integration¹ and consulting service has shown tremendous growth. It has become a vital ingredient in the formula for our success with our Chinese customers and partners. You see our areas of expertise² listed here. The first three are aligned³ with the software products I just discussed, and I'll talk about the last two when I describe our E-business solutions. So that leaves extended ERP, or enterprise resource planning as the only thing to comment on for this list of services. HP has a depth of expertise in helping⁴ customers implement⁵ applications like SAP. We've done more than 70 installations worldwide, and we have the most comprehensive SAP R/3 services and support offering in the industry. Last year we introduced what we call Rapid R/3, which is a fixed-price contract with an accelerated implementation⁶ schedule of between four and six months. We completed a dozen such installations last year. By the way, we have the industry's only high-availability offering customized for SAP R/3, and we have closely integrated HP-SAP support processes.

在过去三年中，惠普的系统集成和咨询服务有了长足的发展。它是我们与中国的客户和商业伙伴成功合作的关键。诸位请看，我们从亊的专门领域列在这里。前三项是我刚谈到的软件产品，我谈及电子业务时再介绍后两项产品。所以，现在我们只介绍ERP——企业资源规划。在帮助客户实现诸如SAP等应用程序方面，惠普具有相当的专门技术。目前，我们在全世界已安装了70多套设备。此外，我们在业界拥有最全面的SAP R/3的服务和支持体系。去年，我们推出Rapic R/3，这是一种固定价格合同，其实施进度约为四到六个月。去年，我们已完成12项这样的安装。顺便提一句，我们拥有目前业界唯一高可用性定制SAP R/3，而且我们严密地综合了 HP-SAP支持程序。

In terms of support, I would call your attention to two items listed here. The first is our high-availability support offering, which provides a continuum of support offerings that span needs ranging from a departmental print server to an online reservation system that must be continuously available. It's also worth noting that we are the only supplier that is certified⁷ to support Unix, Microsoft, Cisco, Netscape on a worldwide basis.

谈到支持，我想提醒各位注意这里所列的两项。一项是我们的髙可用性支持，它可提供一系列支持，从部门打印服务器到随时在线预订系统，一应俱全。这里还应注意的是，我们是唯一经证明可在全世界范围内为UNIX，Microsoft， Cisco和Netscape提供支持的公司。
