Description:

HP Solutions is a new global business unit that brings together all commercial services teams across HP under one leader with a goal of providing a comprehensive portfolio of compelling services and solutions to our enterprise, mid-market, and even, in partnership with our strategic channel partners, to the SMB segment. Our goal is to enable CIOs to optimize the IT experience of their workforce while balancing other business pressures of affordability and risk. HP’s core strengths in personal systems and computing, printing and document workflows, and advanced collaboration solutions provide the foundation from which we will expand our services portfolio. Our passion for our customer and our employees will be our differentiation. 

We have organized the P&L across three Service Lines, each representing a critical portfolio and business model.  Lifecycle Services represents our core device-centric services.  Managed Solutions represents our growing portfolio in integrated solutions and managed services that bring together hardware, software, HP and third-party capabilities. Our final strategic Service Line is focused on our rapidly growing Software / Digital Services portfolio.

This newly founded division brings together software products and platforms from across HP, including our robust Print, Document and Workflow Management suite, our flagship Workforce Experience platform, and our overall HP Workplace Central platform which brings the entire software portfolio of HP (and key partners) together under a cloud-native, AI-driven Employee Experience platform.
