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.

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.
