Design principles for adaptive enterprises

HP's Adaptive Enterprise approach is based on four key design principles: simplify, standardize, modularize, and integrate; designed and deployed IT for maximum agility.

1. Simplify:

- Reducing the number of IT elements in your network
- Eliminating customization
- Automating change

2. Standardize:

- Use of industry-standard interfaces, platforms and software development techniques
- Implement standard processes and policies for managing change
- Adopt common enterprise architecture

3. Modularize:

- Break down monolithic structures
- Create reusable components
- Implement logical architecture
- Virtualize IT in an adaptive enterprise

4. Integrate:

- Facilitates greater ease and range of change
- Help connect application and business processes within and outside the enterprise

The four fundamental design principles are crucial to ensuring a tight link between IT and business. As these principles drive technology decisions, HP remains focused on delivering realizable and practical value for our enterprise customers.
