1-800-FLOWERS expanded its business and created an online ordering
system with Sun and AT&T technologies. At first, online sales accounted
for only ten percent of their business; now they make up about
half of their revenue.
Kansai Electric Power Company Inc. (KEPCO) is the second largest
electrical power supplier in Japan, a country where, it is predicted,
30 million homes will use high-speed Internet access and 10 million
families will use super high-speed Internet access by 2005. Given that
projected market, Kansai management decided to expand its fiber optic
network (and its services) to supply high-speed fiber-to-the-home
(FTTH) and to add new content delivery services such as broadband
Internet access, TV and video on demand, and voice services on its
entire installed base using an IT infrastructure provided by Sun
and Kasenna.
