Schmidt talks eBusiness at Fortune 500 Forum

Austin, Texas—October 13, 2000 — Novell CEO Eric Schmidt joins Marc Andreessen, Chairman of Loudcloud, Inc., a key founder of the new Net economy, at today's Fortune 500 Forum to discuss future technology trends and their impact on business. Entitled "Doing Business Different: Strategies from Maverick CEOs," this year's Fortune 500 Forum brings together leading technology and industry executives to talk about how they are adapting their companies to the new environment, and to explore the impact of future technology on business. Schmidt and Andreessen will be on a panel entitled "What's Next on the eHorizon." As intranets, extranets and the Internet meld into a single, unified Network—one Net—the technology and business challenges and opportunities change on almost a daily basis, making the eHorizon at difficult target to reach. As Schmidt presence at the Forum suggests, Net services software from Novell will play a key role in helping companies meet whatever challenges are over that eHorizon.
