HP helps organizations thrive in unpredictability

New research conducted on behalf of HP shows that more than 90% of senior business decision makers believe business cycles will continue to be unpredictable in the next few years. As a result, 80% recognize a need to be far more flexible in their approaches to business and technology.

In addition to flexibility, 84% of senior business leaders believe innovation will be critical to their organization's success and 71% would sanction more technology investments if they could see how those investments met their organization's time-to-market and business opportunity needs.

"Technology is a fundamental contributor to business innovation. With HP's portfolio of products, services and solutions, organizations can build technology environments that deliver the outcomes that matter today and tomorrow."

said Ann Livermore, executive vice president, HP Enterprise Business.

HP's new offerings allow organizations to thrive in unpredictability by building technology environments that deliver innovation and make the best use of available resourcses to meet customers' unique problems.

HP Neoview Advantage, the new release of the HP Neoview enterprise data warehouse platform, supports real-time insight and decision-making, allowing customers to respond to business events faster. This release offers dramatic improvements in performance, capacity, footprint and manageability. HP Neoview Advantage is also designed to reduce the cost of ownership with industry-standard components and pre-built, pre-tested configurations optimized for warehousing.

HP also announced the HP Converged Infrastructure architecture, which delivers a technology environment that rapidly adjusts to meet changing needs. HP Converged Infrastructure addresses IT sprawl, the main cause of technology spend focused on maintenance instead of innovation. In addition, new HP Converged Infrastructure Consulting Services help customers quickly and seamlessly transition from isolated product-centric technologies to a highly flexible converged infrastructure. Built on HP's deep experience in shared services, cloud computing and data center transformation projects, the new services allow customers to design, test and implement highly scalable infrastructures.

For customers who do not want to build it themselves, HP Enterprise Services provides a full range of IT outsourcing services to deliver an HP Converged Infrastructure. Organizations can outsource all or part of their infrastructure based on their business needs.
