The practice will help users plan, architect, and implement technology for portal computing, supply-chain management, and E-commerce. "We are not all things to all people," says Mark Bauhaus, VP of the Sun .Com Consulting practice. Bauhaus says Sun will continue to partner with systems integrators such as EDS, Cambridge Technology Partners, and KPMG to deliver end-to-end E-commerce offerings.
In addition, Sun says it will beef up its project-management skills for the consulting practice. To date, some of the clients that Sun's consultants have been working with include GTE, E-Trade, and Discover Brokerage. Meanwhile, president and chief operating officer Ed Zander says that over 200,000 copies of StarOffice 5.1, Sun's Java-based office productivity suite, have been downloaded since it was made available last week. The company also today took the wraps off its SunRay 1 thin client.

Insurance Providers: Improving Customer Retention through the Contact Center
Customer experience is a big deal for the insurance industry, and doing it right has never been more critical than now. In fact, Nationwide Insurance found that a 1% increase in customer retention increased annual premiums by $1 million. In order to master providing a consistent – and consistently positive – customer experience, insurance companies must rebuild their contact center operations around the customer. The problem? Desktop complexity in the insurance contact center, which is particularly prevalent in the insurance industry. Some insurance companies have more than 20 applications and tools on the desktop. That means that CSRs, who are supposed to provide quality and timely service to customers on each call, end up navigating through dozens of non-integrated applications. The good news is that implementing a unified desktop in the contact center will help insurers overcome all of the above-mentioned challenges, giving the CSR that fully integrated view of each customer. A unified desktop solution is the quickest and most efficient way to improve customer retention while reducing your cost of operations – it’s the insurance policy you need to keep your customers’ business for years to come.
