Make users more productive
You and your employees will appreciate the built-in automation and IntelliSense^™ technology that lets you find information faster. The browser itself is up to 60% faster on a LAN than the competition, and the "back-to-basics" approach we took in designing the browser makes it much easier to use, saving support costs. Internet Explorer provides new offline capabilities to support mobile workers, and can even be configured to detect proxy settings and network connections.

Simplify browser management
The Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) lets companies deploy Internet Explorer 5 across platforms quickly and efficiently, installing only the components and custom applications the IT managers choose. The ability to include custom Favorites, like intranet sites for support, can reduce the total cost of ownership. The IEAK also lets companies lock down the browser, once deployed. Administrators can easily manage browser updates after the fact.

Provide a rich development platform
Internet Explorer 5 provides a complete Web development platform for the enterprise. With true componentization, multiple users can work on a Web-based applications without interfering with one another. Support for open standards like DHTML and XML enables richer enterprise-ready applications and reduces development time. And Internet Explorer 5 is the most extensible browser available, letting developers create fresh and exciting new functionalities.
