Compaq has been an industry leader in providing innovative features that increase customer
productivity and enhance the user experience. With the introduction of EAB on select Armada and
Deskpro keyboards, the Compaq tradition of useful innovation continues. Following are some of
the key features and benefits of the EAB enhancement:

 

ECommerce/Internet Advantages — Compaq is committed to providing customers with
comprehensive Internet and eCommerce solutions that increase productivity, efficiency, and
competitiveness. Critical information can be easily and immediately accessed with the touch of
a button. Users are instantly directed to targeted Internet destinations, increasing user
productivity and reducing costs.

 

Easy Access to Applications and Data — EAB software provides more than just quick access
to Internet destinations. All of the buttons can be programmed to launch routine applications
for individual users or to access important files. The ease-of-use features can increase
productivity by saving valuable time.

 

Destination Customization — Although the keyboard is shipped with several buttons already
programmed, users or IT administrators can reprogram the programmable buttons at any time
to meet specific needs. Buttons can be programmed to access Internet sites, applications, or
files.

 

Fast Access to Valuable Business Information — Eight buttons on the Easy Access Keyboard
are preprogrammed to access sites that are intended to provide valuable business information.
These buttons can be reprogrammed locally. Destination customization can be deployed by IT
professionals.
