Hewlett-Packard Company today reported that its implementation of RosettaNet Partner Interface
Processes (PIPs) has transformed HP's B2B processes throughout its supply chain for HP
workstations, HP NetServers and Unix® servers. The RosettaNet PIPs have resulted in significant
time savings and a smoother information flow for HP and its Value-Added Resellers (VARs),
distributors and contract manufacturers.
All three RosettaNet PIPs HP is currently using -- PIP3A4, which acknowledges receipt of a
purchase order; PIP3A6, which provides order status; and a pre-release version of PIP3B2, which
sends advance shipment and shipper's manifest notifications -- have reduced processing time for HP
and North American VARs and distributors from days to minutes. At the other end of the supply
chain, the same PIPs are being exchanged between HP and North American contract manufacturers,
resulting in similar time savings.
"Today, it's all about speed -- the speed at which we introduce business models and introduce
business partners into those models," said Pete Karolczak, vice president and chief information
officer for HP's Consumer Business Organization and incoming chairman of RosettaNet's IT Board. "We
can either try to keep up with the Internet by using one-off process interfaces with our business
partners, or we can invest in accelerating the adoption of standards that will get us there faster.

TTI
Paul Andrews, TTI CEO and President, said, "It is dramatically more efficient and effective
to support industry standardization than to develop such relationships one on one. Not only is it
cost effective, but it also saves considerable time in developing web enabled e-commerce
relationships. By developing a common language with all the accompanying rules of grammar,
RosettaNet now enables a dialogue between multiple partners at multiple levels. This initiative is
huge, offering tremendous benefits to those who adopt the standards. These standards will enable
further automation of such transactions as purchase order placement, changing orders, expediting
and many others that will move our industry forward via efficient electronic transactions."
Andrews added, "As cycle times have collapsed to reduce time to market, asset management has
become critical to keep costs in line. RosettaNet will now enable us to control product flows more
efficiently from supplier to distributor to end customer, resulting in a much more efficient
system. This further supports the customer's requirement and our efforts to more closely manage the
procurement process without it becoming excessively labor intensive."
