Workplace users have special needs. Every month, millions of users visit Yahoo! from their workplaces, taking advantage of the same services, products and content that non-business users do. They are knowledge workers, striving to connect to information, people and applications, but without compromising their special requirements related to security, scalability and administrative control. For them, we have a dedicated enterprise organization, focused on leveraging the Yahoo! infrastructure, messaging and communication groups, as well as industry-specific relationships to provide enterprise-ready content and collaboration solutions.
Yahoo! responds with a business portal. The foundation of our content solution - My Yahoo! Enterprise Edition (MYEE) - offers comprehensive access to dynamic industry news and information critical to diverse business users, while providing the option to purchase additional premium packages of industry news and trade journals delivered via MYEE.
Specialized offerings for every business segment. MYEE blends more than 100 familiar My Yahoo! modules into corporate portals, drawing on Yahoo!'s 2,000 content sources from 25 regions in 13 languages. By leveraging the popular aggregation and personalization capabilities of the My Yahoo! platform, it helps simplify the information gathering processes for business customers while ensuring administrative control. MYEE also adds more than 100 general business content sources to the base offering, as well as several specialized modules for tracking company and industry news, company profiles and performance by keyword, stock symbol and industry segments. In addition, vertical industry packages add hundreds of premium content sources to the base MYEE offering.
Leading portal software vendors support our solution. Multiple partnerships with leading portal software vendors are introducing MYEE directly to enterprise portal decision-makers and administrators. Companies such as BEA Systems, SAP AG, Sun Microsystems and TIBCO Software have integrated MYEE with their portal software, providing customers with immediate access to business content and premium add-on packages.
Messenger upgrades for enterprise use. For the millions of people who already use IM at work, we launched Yahoo! Messenger Enterprise Edition (YMEE), which enhances the consumer version with features like encryption for enhanced security, the ability to authenticate users against the corporate directory and compatibility with leading enterprise portals and directories.
Enterprise investments, global customers, and the eventual payoff to consumers. Already, Yahoo! Enterprise Solutions has a global footprint with customers in North America and Europe including Bayer, Honeywell, Cigna, McDonald's, Merck and Baylor Health Care System. By leveraging our core technology and our investment in Instant Messenger, we are repositioning those assets for millions of business users. And eventually, just as we are making existing Yahoo! offerings enterprise-ready, we expect a cross-pollination effect, in which enterprise practices will push features and functions back into the consumer arena.
