I considered Hewlett Packard as a ‘has been‘ in the IT services sector ever since the acquisition of PWCC by IBM, the rise of Accenture from the split of Arther Anderson and the increased dominance of Indian tech giants such as Wipro, Tata & Infosys.
I was so wrong !
HP have completed an astonishing turn around. They posted almost USD $130billion in revenue this past year making them the worlds largest technology company. They are going strong in multiple markets from printer dominance to overtaking Dell as the top PC manufacturer. They have even had a stab at Apple having released sleek and smart looking HP Envy laptops. Having aquired players such as EDS and 3COM, HP have signaled they are ready to taken on anyone. Once of HPs ways are:
“We encourage flexibility and innovation.”
A key ingredient I am sure in it’s transformation.
