HP Drives Business-First Approach to Mobility
New Devices, Services and Network of Partners Work Together to Create Solutions That Are Built for the Way You Work
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2015) - HP (NYSE: HPQ) today unveiled new commercial mobility solutions that transform the workplace and unlock the power of productivity. Eight new mobile devices, an ecosystem of accessories and new strategic relationships allow companies to streamline and simplify their business operations while providing the IT department confidence the task can be managed securely.
Mobile devices are changing how we live and work, and they also pose significant challenges to IT departments who have to support their now mobile workforces while keeping corporate data managed and secure, said Ron Coughlin, senior vice president and general manager, Personal Systems, HP. HP is the worlds largest commercial computing provider to the worlds largest companies. No other company is better suited to address commercial mobility than HP. Our devices feature built-in security, manageability and durability. When paired with our ISVs robust solutions, HP has created an ecosystem that helps companies to powerfully and securely harness the promise of mobility.
Mobility not only changes where people work, but how they work. The current approach to business mobility is to retrofit consumer devices and attempt to make them enterprise-ready, or drive customer lock-in to a single platform or device.
HP is taking a modular approach featuring secure, purpose-built devices. By supporting multiple operating systems, HP is giving business customers a choice of application eco-systems and user experiences. When coupled with the new software offerings from HP and its partners, the company has created a complete mobility solution for all businesses -- including education, field service, healthcare, public safety and retail industries.
