I've blogged about HP's business intelligence strategies over at
my blog at the Business Intelligence Network. My impression a year ago was that
HP was serious about being a major player in the business intelligence and performance management space and should probably be on your short list when investigating solution providers. It seems that things are continuing on the right path. Rod Walker, John Santaferraro and Greg Battas all joined us for the meeting today and covered the business intelligence portfolio, whats new in the group and where they plan to go in the future.
Notable announcements in 2007 included the Knightsbridge Solutions acquisition, the addition of Ben Barnes to the executive ranks, the
Neoview launch, new research from HP's labs. This year staffing on the Neoview side has been doubled, marque clients are in place in many verticals and solution upgrades on Neoview continue. Sales force development and service build up are key to their progress going forward with Neoview as well as developing the partner ecosystem.
HP continues to move its solutions along the following track, Tactical - Strategic - Operational - Transformational while most clients are still jumping the chasm between strategic and operational business intelligence HP is focusing on solutions to assist along the entire journey with a focus on the operational side of things.
HP Decision Center for IT Analytics is now being used by over 30 clients and is a solid example of their commitment to performance management.
Overall things at HP are steaming ahead, often times when I visit with big companies on an annual basis the story changes along with the focus. I have to say that HP has been transparent with their overall roadmap and plan to for the business intelligence and performance management sector and the strategy has stayed consistent.
