AT&T says its enterprise hosting services will continue to improve performance of 1-800-Flowers.com's critical business data and applications, which will help streamline online ordering, processing and product distribution. In addition to hosting services, AT&T will provide advanced toll-free calling services for 1-800-Flower.com, which will help provide high-quality customer service, order processing and communications among retail locations, says the company.

"One major reason we've turned to AT&T is the seasonal nature of our business - we have significant peaks in our Web traffic for Valentines Day and Mothers Day. We look forward to expanding our relationship with AT&T."
