Chrysler generated more
than $2 billion in cost savings
in 1998 with a Net-based
application that tightened the
partnership with its suppliers
by inviting them to offer
cost-saving ideas. The suppliers
weighed in with more than
13,000 suggestions. In three
out of four cases, Chrysler
took action – and shared some
of the savings with
the idea’s originator.
We turned to the Net to create the world’s most
PRODUCTIVE suggestion box, and speeded
up the implementation of a ton of great ideas.”
Susan Unger, chief information officer, DaimlerChrysler
In the battle against HIV and
AIDS, researchers are learning
that combinations of drugs
succeed where individual
medications fail. The HIV
Treatment Data Project is a
collaboration between the
American Association of
Health Plans and Lotus to
create a safe, secure Web site
where information on possible
drug therapies is compiled
and shared. The results are
instantly available to doctors
and researchers who have
committed themselves to end
this modern plague.
“We’re on the trail of a killer. The Internet
is the only communications medium that
moves with the URGENCY WE NEED.”
L. Jeannine Bookhardt-Murray, M.D., HIV Treatment Data Project
