Assisting Electronic Manufacturers with Low-Risk Technology Infrastructure
Hewlett-Packard Company has announced that it has created an Electronics/High Technology Industry Business Unit, which will focus exclusively on the needs of manufacturers in this sector and provide them with total, end-to-end information-technology solutions that will improve operational efficiencies and overall competitiveness. The new business unit will be part of HP`s Enterprise Accounts Organisation (EAO).
According to Richard Morse, marketing manager at HP EAO southern Africa, HP is recognised as a worldwide leader in the delivery of supply-chain-management technology infrastructures to many of the largest growth-orientated organisations in the electronics, high-technology and semiconductor marketplace. "We believe that more than half of the installed base of UNIX system Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions worldwide run on HP systems. The new business unit will allow HP to leverage its strengths in delivering leading-edge solutions to its targeted customers."
Those strengths include the following:
Extensive experience with industry and customer issues
Significant strategic alliances with the world`s leading software providers and systems integrators
Internet and middleware software, network and systems management, and high-performance/high-availability computing-platform technologies
Worldwide technology-implementation capabilities
Renowned support, outsourcing and financing services.
"Given these strengths, we are now in a position to help electronics manufacturers obtain the best-possible, lowest-risk technology infrastructure component for their supply-chain-management strategies," says Morse.
John Loessy, head of the new operation, says: "This new organisation allows HP to put a strong emphasis on the top electronics manufacturers by dedicating a management team, a focused sales team and the corresponding services organisation. HP understands the electronics industry and the needs of its manufacturers. We offer them total solutions - designed and delivered by top-level IT professionals - that incorporate hardware, software, consulting services and alliances with major software providers on a global scale."
