HP has enhanced its application portfolio with a new ecosystem that uses HP’s core strengths and those of its partners to help organizations design, develop and integrate complex, end-to-end digital engagement solutions.
To bridge the consumer and enterprise experiences, organizations need highly intuitive and functional mobile apps that support business requirements for growth, innovation and differentiation, the company said. HP’s new partner ecosystem addresses the need for a broad portfolio of skills and experience that can deliver end-to-end solutions that enable organizations to engage with customers and deliver an enhanced brand experience.
“Applications are increasingly becoming the face of an organization, particularly as mobile applications become one of the most significant opportunities and threats to an organization’s customer experience strategy,” said Katherine Garcia, senior vice president, Applications and Business Services, HP, in a statement. “There is no room for error when interacting with existing or recruiting new customers. HP understands this and through the ecosystem we are helping our clients improve their customers’ experience by bringing key agencies across different industries together to offer a one-stop-shop for designing, developing and deploying applications.”
HP is partnering with a portfolio of “best-in-breed” partners to form integrated sales, marketing and delivery teams that offer a blend of diverse skills for customers.
