HP unveils new consulting services

NEW DELHI, INDIA: HP on Tuesday introduced consulting services that help maximize client investments in collaboration platforms, such as Microsoft SharePoint 2010, for greater productivity and information sharing across an enterprise.

HP services equip enterprises for collaboration in an Instant-On world by creating an interactive working environment where employees can access applications and information anywhere and at any time, the company claimed in a press release.

HP Collaboration Consulting Services modernize and extend an existing collaboration infrastructure by streamlining resources, improving governance and reducing infrastructure sprawl. This enables an organization’s employees to retrieve and contribute information, forming interactive communities that improve efficiency and productivity.

“Employees are often disconnected from the information and resources that help them best navigate their roles,” said Bishwanth Bhattacharya, vice president, HP Technology Services, HP India.

He further added that HP Collaboration Consulting Services make information personal, relevant and usable, and quickly connect employees to colleagues, boosting the quality of business decisions.

The company further claimed that HP Collaboration Consulting Services enable clients to use Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and other tools to help enhance productivity with transformation services that provide strategy, assessment, roadmap and design services.

This helps clients build an environment that enables employees to work faster and more efficiently through a shared platform while making information and resources readily available.

It also helps streamline collaboration with planning, design and implementation services that allow clients to gain control of their SharePoint platform and reduce information sprawl. HP helps clients standardize and migrate data and applications from legacy systems, such as Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise, and consolidate resources.

The new services use social networking to build community and collaboration among peers, employees and partners with HP Social Collaboration Consulting Services. Clients also can attract a new generation of employees that are accustomed to working with social channels.
