At a function held at Kyalami yesterday, HP announced the forming of its new Enterprise Computing Solutions (ECS) division.
Frederic Dussart, GM at HP ECS SA, says the primary goal of the new division is to make HP "even more focused in helping its partners and customers meet their business needs".
Dussart believes the ECS division will present its clients with a single enterprise services and solutions message.
"HP is looking to brings its enterprise resource planning, data warehousing, business intelligence, customer relationship management and e-services teams under the new ECS banner," explains Jodi Andrews, channel and marketing manager at ECS SA.
In conjunction with this announcement, HP also provided a glimpse into the future with its e-speak technology.
"We believe that e-service is the next wave on the Internet. E-services entail the combination of e-business and e-commerce with the increasing needs of Internet users," says Dussart.
"Essentially e-service is the pulling of multiple resources from the Internet and combining those resources to provide an integrated solution to what the user wants," adds John Saw, marketing manager for HP Eastern, Central and Southern Europe.
"Through our e-speak technology, which we expect to release in the fourth quarter of this year, an e-service will discover other e-services on the Internet and link them on the fly. E-speak will not only be an online broker for the user but will also be the universal language of e-services," notes Saw.
