Collectively, the manufacturing, financial services, and network & service provider industries drive our global economy. The international building and distribution of products, the management of business and consumer financial transactions, and the creation and maintenance of an intelligent, content-rich network for business and personal communications all serve to connect people worldwide as we buy, make, sell and create.

Leading manufacturers, financial services institutions, and network & service providers have long turned to HP for depth and breadth in business and technology solutions. Increasingly, HP works strategically with these companies, helping them create a unique Adaptive Enterprise by following proven processes that integrate business, technology, and solution delivery.

Today the HP Adaptive Enterprise vision helps firms around the world -- such as AT&T Wireless, Bank of India, CIBC, General Motors, IndianOil, ING, Procter & Gamble, Reuters, Statoil ASA, Vodafone, and many others -- build systems that synchronize business and IT to capitalize on change.

In helping you move to an Adaptive Enterprise, we start with a focused examination of the industry challenges facing your enterprise.

Manufacturing: Speed product development. Reduce costs in the supply chain. Leverage infrastructure investments. Balance supply and demand.

Financial Services: Improve customer service, growth, and experience. Accelerate cost savings and process efficiencies. Increase competency through outsourcing and offshoring. Enhance control by meeting new standards and regulatory requirements.

Network & Service Providers: Increase revenue streams through new services. Capitalize on content-rich services and service bundling. Improve operating efficiency. Enhance customer relationships to reduce churn.

We work with you
Based on our focused understanding and experience in these industries, HP works with you to apply solution frameworks built on open, vertical industry standards. Because these frameworks are modular in design and horizontal in structure, they allow us to work step-wise, focusing first on those business processes that promise you the highest return.

We then select proven and open choices from a broad portfolio of HP and solutions partner assets, including products, services, software, and an open middleware strategy. These are augmented by key system integrator capabilities and operational best-practices from our own experiences as a Fortune 50 company.

Next we are ready to assemble the pieces, using your legacy infrastructure and unique requirements as the foundation for a solution that is modular and standards-based -- and custom assembled for you. Custom assembly -- without the unnecessary cost of a custom solution -- minimizes your expense, risk, and implementation time.

Finally, we identify the tools and resources you need to manage and evolve the Adaptive Enterprise over time, continually synchronizing business and IT to capitalize on change in your company, your industry.

We take you from strategy to reality.

For network and service providers
HP has 25 years of expertise deep in the heart of the network. While many IT companies provide technology to the communications industry, HP has been trusted for decades as solution provider directly in the call path, because of our specialized solutions and services.

Today commercial information technology plays an even more significant role in the new content-based intelligent network. IT has become fundamental to service providers, who need to create world-class service delivery, agile cost structures, and excellent content management capabilities.

At the same time, the unique requirements of carrier networks remain. HP helps you build the bridge to Internet Protocol (IP) as the new network, while meeting specialized carrier demands. We focus on serving the complete market value chain of the evolving Network and Service Provider industry: equipment providers, service providers and content providers.

  • For network equipment providers, HP helps reduce cost of goods sold as well as improve go-to-market strategies.

 

  • For service providers, HP helps integrate service management and service delivery into a seamless whole. We apply innovative industry solutions that support content management and enable service providers to participate in new business models.

 

  • For content providers in media and entertainment, HP helps create service-centric ecosystems that manage digital media, establish a support infrastructure, and integrate service management.

 

HP expertise encompasses the entire services lifecycle, and our relationships with key alliances partners -- combined with HP leadership and extensive customer experience with network solutions -- can help you increase revenue streams, reduce complexity, enhance customer relationships, and adapt to new business models.

For the financial services industry
HP's rich heritage in the financial services industry goes back more than two decades and is reflected in a significant presence at banks, brokerages, major stock and commodity exchanges, and insurance carriers.

HP is a leading provider of infrastructure products, solutions and services for the financial services industry, focusing on four key markets: Banking, Payments, Financial Markets, and Insurance.

Today it is vital that financial services institutions reduce costs -- and build a flexible technology infrastructure that can be adapted easily in a market that is continually evolving. To meet this need, HP offers its Adaptive Enterprise strategy to financial institutions, providing an overall framework and specific, innovative enterprise solutions that enable agility and a competitive edge.

The HP Adaptive Enterprise for the financial services industry emphasizes standards-based technologies, modular components, and tight integration with best-of-breed solutions partners. For example, HP's Open Bank Adaptive Enterprise Framework enables retail banks to capitalize on change, improve the Total Customer Experience, streamline multichannel distribution, optimize profit trends and manage risk.

With the power of its portfolio, HP helps financial institutions reduce IT cost today while building an efficient, agile IT resource for the future. In addition, HP Services provides the technology consulting and integration services to create and deploy new financial services industry solutions rapidly and effectively.

For manufacturing
Manufacturing firms worldwide recognize HP's unique strengths in using IT innovation to drive more business value for the enterprise:

  • We are one of the world's largest commercial users of radio-frequency identification systems (RFID) today.
  • After our merger with Compaq, our supply chain consolidation services played a key role to reduce internal operations costs. Overall internal operations cost reduction: US$2.7B.
  • HP runs one of the world's largest supply chains – one that handles exceptional variations in product volume and breadth.
  • As a world-class manufacturer, HP shares our expertise with customers, and half of our corporate customer base is composed of manufacturing enterprises. HP's advanced capabilities in manufacturing solutions such as real-time supply chain management, product lifecycle management (PLM), internet-enabled procurement using HP KeyChain, and print-on-demand technologies and services are used both inside HP and by our customers in manufacturing.

HP also leverages strong manufacturing software partnerships to help our customers build more agile solutions. We have key alliances with Microsoft, OAT Systems, Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP, and many other leading manufacturing solution providers.

Working with global customers in automotive, high-tech electronics, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, consumer packaged goods and aerospace & defense, we provide industry specific-solutions such as:

  • Drug discovery and clinical trials
  • Digital oil fields and next-generation seismic solutions
  • Automotive telematics

  • Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for retail suppliers

 

In addition, HP offers for the extended supply chain including:

  • Dealer and channel management
  • IT consolidation and strategic outsourcing

Adapt to success
The financial services industry, manufacturing, and network & service providers all face competitive environments that make business agility imperative. Ideally, supply meets demand 24x7x365. In reality, the continually evolving global economy defies predictability. The HP Adaptive Enterprise approach offers a proven route to success by delivering the flexibility and innovation that help you synchronize business and IT to capitalize on change.
