Edge: Work-Group Computing Report, May 1, 2000

Intel Corporation Thursday announced that it has combined its Intel Architecture Business and Microprocessor Products Groups into a single organization to deliver platforms and solutions for the Internet economy.

The new organization is named the Intel Architecture Group (IAG) and will be co-managed by executive vice president Paul Otellini and senior vice president Albert Yu.

Under this reorganization, development of microprocessors, chipsets, motherboards, systems and related software at the platform level will be combined into platform-focused business operations targeted at the enterprise (servers and workstations), desktop and mobile market segments. The group has also created an organization to enable a comprehensive set of solutions for e-Business and e-homes - all optimized for Intel architecture and the Internet. In addition, the research and technology laboratory activities of the groups have been combined.

"We have structured the new Intel Architecture Group to work more effectively with various companies in the industry to provide complete solutions to the Internet economy. This should speed up the adoption and implementation of e-Business solutions - all running on Intel architecture," noted Otellini.

"We believe this new organizational structure provides all the resources needed to create platforms efficiently and effectively for each market segment. When we combine these platform building blocks with complete solutions for the marketplace, it should add great value to organizations using or getting on the Internet," said Yu.

Enhanced Services for Internet Solution Providers In an effort to enhance business opportunities for emerging Internet businesses, 1,000 Intel employees will be dedicated to delivering services and strategies to Web integrators, e-Business solution providers, Internet solution providers and other Internet-business related organizations. This group will work with an investment of $100 million targeted at helping these types of companies accelerate the creation of complete solutions that bring companies, products and services to the Internet running on Intel architecture.
