As part of the strategic relationship, HP secured a two-year option to invest

in Delphi to establish a sizeable ownership position. "We believe that

vertical next generation portals like ebix.com will significantly change the way

the insurance industry does business," said HP Financial Services Business

Unit insurance industry manager Doug Chisholm.

Delphi Information Systems president Robin Raina added, "We believe that

ebix.com has all the four key ingredients of a successful portal, known as the

four C's - Content, Commerce, Community and Customization. HP's vast experience

in the corporate and consumer markets and their commitment to e-business

provides tremendous strength to ebix.com. Also it will give the insurance

industry the confidence to adopt new business methods and truly reap the

benefits of e-commerce."

IT spending by the industry has increased over the last two years and much of

this investment has been directed towards embracing Internet technology. An

alliance between Delphi with its track record of bringing agency management

solutions to the market and HP with its track record of technological innovation

will act as a springboard for the insurance industry."
