---- CVS
Unveils Pharmacy Web site
CVS, the country's largest drugstore chain,
today unveiled a new Web site that it said is the first to combine an established
online pharmacy with a traditional brick-and-mortar pharmacy chain. The site is
the result of the company's recent acquisition of Soma.com, the Internet's first
online pharmacy, CVS said. The newly designed CVS site offers over-the-counter
and prescription items and 24-hour-a-day access to pharmacists. The site also
lets consumers place a prescription order online and choose between same-day in-store
pick up at a CVS pharmacy or optional overnight or regular delivery to their home
or office, the company said. BuyWiz
Launches Universal Shopping Cart
BuyWiz Inc. launched the beta version
of a free, PC-based universal online shopping cart that offers built-in comparison-shopping,
price tracking and one-click buying. BlueGill
To Offer Interactive Bill Presentment, Payment
BlueGill Technologies Inc.
next week will introduce new products for companies that want to offer online
bill presentment and payment. Web Direct software will convert standard print-stream
data being used to produce paper invoices into HTML or a PDF file so it can also
be presented on the Web. And three new payment modules will let merchants receive
funds directly from customers or via the two primary bill-processing companies,
CheckFree and TransPoint. CompUSA
To Build Independent Online Store
Computer retailer CompUSA Inc. this
fall will re-launch its Web storefront, relying less on cut-rate discounts and
more on building one-to-one relationships with customers. But CompUSA's approach
is distinctive in other ways. CompUSA is maintaining the wall between its traditional
and Web businesses, and keeping the two IT departments and infrastructures separate.
The delineation affects customers as well: Online buyers can't return purchases
to brick-and- mortar locations, something many E-retailers have begun to accommodate.
Innosoft
International Directory Portal Products
Three new products from Innosoft
integrate XML and LDAPv3 to provide a directory-enabled Web application server
platform. DirectoryPortal deploys Web applications that dynamically access and
integrate content from LDAP directories. Tool
Analyzes Storefronts
E-businesses are demanding tools that deliver top-level
views of all their customer interactions, online and offline. Tibco
Targets E-Businesses With Updated Middleware
Tibco Software Inc. will
seek a higher profile among e-businesses this week when it rolls out the second
version of its TIB/ActiveEnterprise middleware suite. ###
