HP looking to simplify IT

HP recently announced a new company-wide initiative dubbed Instant-On, which is an effort to package its hardware, software and consulting services that can be offered as a single purchase, instead of three or more purchases as it's currently done.  The effort is aimed at helping large enterprises reduce IT complexity and becoming more responsive to internal needs as well as the needs of their customers.  By integrating the work of its hardware, software and services divisions, HP says it can help companies navigate disruptive trends such as the influx of mobile devices and the introduction of cloud computing services.  This will, in effect, allow large enterprises to uses technology to provide better, faster service to their customers, even as business requirements and consumer expectations keep changing.  


HP's primary goal of this initiative is to reassure IT buyers that all the different divisions of HP are working toward a common goal of reducing complexity and simplifying management for IT teams.  If HP can successfully deliver on this promise, the instant-On initiative will be a sure hit with IT departments around the world.

  1. Very interesting. More and more, you see IT companies shying away from adopting new technology because they just can't keep up. This kind of service would definitely help a large company. I just wonder if they'll be able to offer this kind of service without a prohibitive price tag.
