HP Split Will Drive Innovation and Growth


By Scott Haizlip
As the navigator specialist here at Convergent Technologies Group, my focus is in tune with the growth of HP’s printing and personal systems business. Currently, HP is a market leader in printing and personal systems, but – like all companies – HP is always looking for the next way to increase innovation and grow business. I feel that HP has found a way to increase both innovation and growth with its plan to split its business.
On Nov. 1, HP officially will separate into two new, equally robust Fortune 50 companies. The business that will be known as Hewlett Packard Enterprise will be responsible for HP’s enterprise infrastructure, software and services business. The second company, to be named HP Inc., will focus on printing and personal computing. Rather than continuing to try to do everything, HP smartly opted for this split that will allow each company to function more strategically and nimbly on what it can do best.
Although HP Enterprise and HP Inc. will both benefit, I feel HP Inc. will thrive from the separation. In my opinion, establishing HP Inc. as a stand-alone company will ensure increased investments in research and design in these market-leading products. This, in turn, will drive growth through innovation.
For our customers, this innovation will change the way you operate your business and life – from how you print to what you can accomplish from a mobile device. HP is constantly developing and introducing inventive products, such as 3D scanning with the HP Sprout, and handwritten notes that transfer to text on the HP Pro Slate 12 – just to name a couple.
Look for HP Inc. to continue to be a leader in bringing the best printers and personal systems to the marketplace. Look for growth in product capabilities and new products that change how we do business. Look for HP to have the solutions to meet your needs – and open up unimagined avenues for you to deliver successfully on your business goals.
