Companies Look to Technology to Overcome Market Challenges
HP recently at Dhaka has announced new global research that shows organizations around the world expect technology to help them meet the challenges of today’s unpredictable business environment and anticipate future business needs.
According to the global study, more than 90 percent of senior business decision makers believe business cycles will continue to be unpredictable in the next few years. Seven out of 10 believe this new economy will change the way business planning works.
Nearly 75 percent of business leaders say their technology department is a fundamental enabler of their business’ success. Eight out of 10 leaders think the new economy will require significantly more technology focused on market-based needs.
“Technology is the sustaining force of any organization. To succeed, organizations must be adept at using technology to navigate change and seize opportunities,” said Ann Livermore, executive vice president, HP Enterprise Business. “HP believes technology can and should make a significant contribution to every organization’s ability not just to cope, but to thrive. Our customers see this as well.”
According to 84 percent of business leaders, innovation is critical to their organization’s success in the new economy. Two-thirds of these business leaders are using technology to identify new business opportunities and 71 percent said they would invest in more technology if they could see it was meeting time-to-market and business opportunity needs.
The research also shows 80 percent of organizations indicated their business and technology approach must be more flexible to meet changing customer needs.
Eighty-nine percent of organizations in all regions believe it is possible that companies that go back to the old ways of planning business growth and market development will lose out to those that master the effective use of technology in the unpredictable business climate.
Coleman Parkes Research Ltd. conducted the survey, commissioned by HP, by performing 550 detailed interviews with 150 business executives (chief executive officers/managing directors) and 400 technology experts (CIOs/chief operations officers).

HP Delivers Breakthrough Converged Infrastructure Architecture
HP on Feb. 10, 2010 unveiled the HP Converged Infrastructure Architecture and associated services and partner offerings that provide a blueprint for chief information officers to create elasticity in their technology environments, supporting innovation in their businesses.
Today, only 34 percent of typical IT budgets are dedicated to business innovation. This is because the proliferation of IT sprawl has created technology silos in data centers that consume up to 66 percent of the technology budget for maintenance and operations. Solving the issue of IT sprawl is expected to create a $35 billion market opportunity for converged infrastructure solutions by 2012
The HP Converged Infrastructure enables data center environments that allow organizations to focus on innovation and making technology a key differentiator for their businesses. It integrates existing silos of compute, storage, network and facility resources with unified management to deliver a virtualized, highly automated technology environment. With pools of shared services that can be leveraged on the fly, businesses increase the flexibility of their environments and speed time to application value.
In a related advance, HP has extended the HP BladeSystem Solution Builder program to enable additional independent software vendors to build solutions that customers can quickly deploy and easily manage in a converged infrastructure
