HP Launches Investment Solutions to Ease Organizations' Transitions to New Style of IT Investment solutions enable businesses to improve speed, agility and control to meet evolving needs

PALO ALTO, Calif. - HP today announced new investment solutions from HP Financial Services (HPFS) designed to enhance business flexibility and help customers reduce complexity, increase agility and drive innovation.(1)

The rate of technology change and the opportunities created are necessitating a new approach to IT strategy, management and investment. Customers need to break free from their traditional mode of operation by looking for ways to increase the pace of innovation and delivering business value.

Flexible investment solutions from HPFS helped us maximize our current technology environment and accelerate our move to new platforms such as cloud, said Alexander de Oliveira, IT director of Group Projects at Transguard, a leading provider of security services in the United Arab Emirates.

The expanded portfolio of investment solutions from HPFS includes:

The HP accelerated migration program for cloud-helps customers establish a plan to retire and upgrade their technology infrastructure. Additionally, HPFS can provide a capital infusion to help fund the transformation. Built to a timeline that aligns to a customer's goals, the program is designed with both IT and financial executives in mind.

The HP Pre-Provisioning Solution-lets customers take delivery of HP equipment right away, but only pay when it is deployed and activated. This solution addresses the pressing need for chief information officers to fund their IT transformation while driving operational efficiencies.

New investment solutions for HP Moonshot servers and HP Converged Systems-provide customers and channel partners with quick access to the latest HP products through a simple, scalable and predictable monthly payment that aligns technology and financial requirements to business needs.

The uncertainty associated with transitioning to cloud, mobile, big data and BYOD will require enterprises to plan and build their IT investment strategies differently, said Susan Middleton, research director, Technology Financial Strategies, IDC.

To set a clear standard for what businesses should expect from their investment solutions vendors, HP Financial Services has published a public charter. The Pledge speaks to the track record HP has earned for trust and transparency and is designed to give customers greater peace of mind.

The customer is at the heart of everything we do, and more than 75 percent of our business is with repeat customers, said Irv Rothman, chief executive officer, HP Financial Services. We take a collaborative approach to ensure customers have the technology and financial flexibility they require to effectively meet current and future business needs.

Additional information about today's announcement is available in a brief video from HP's Rothman. Additional information about HP Financial Services is available at www.hp.com/hpfinancialservices.
