All customers have 24/7 access to HP Global Mission Critical Support Centers, as well as direct access to senior resources. Incidents are managed based on business impact to reduce the risks associated with downtime and ensure customers are meeting their service-level agreements.

Integrated customer support

HP Mission Critical Partnership serves customers with a team of highly experienced, mission-critical certified specialists who provide tailored services. Each team is led by an account support manager who acts as a single point of accountability for the support relationship with HP.

In addition to extensive technical training, HP runs a unique development program to equip mission-critical delivery experts with skills that enable consulting, leadership and continuous improvement in customers' infrastructure availability. This streamlined communication and specialized training leads to support teams that efficiently identify risks, provide proactive support and quickly resolve any critical incidents.
