As a CIO, you are being pressured to rapidly launch new services, lower costs, and manage risk. At the same time, you have multiple options to meet those demands, including traditional in-house, outsourced, or cloud services. The focus of business technology is shifting from managing people, process, and technology to the value achieved via services. Your mission will be to deliver business value by sourcing, delivering, and governing these technology-enabled services. You need a new model for creating those services – one that provisions the right technology resources that are needed. That is where the HP Business Technology portfolio comes in. HP helps you leverage new capabilities within the portfolio to optimise business outcomes and deliver the business-ready services you need. We do this through an Adaptive Infrastructure that is poised to capitalise on business change.

HP Business Outcome Optimisation Solutions and Services help you clearly define the business processes required to support your company’s priorities. This is your first step towards aligning IT resources with the business services that drive those processes. At this phase, true business change can occur as we help you identify opportunities for optimising business processes. This in turn, helps you improve customer interactions, bring products to market faster, or streamline key business processes. Then, we can help you choose the IT solutions and services that best support the specific business outcomes you want. HP has a range of industry-specific solutions focused on supporting key business strategies and priorities. These solutions complement HP enterprise shared services offerings. These also support business processes that are common across many industries. Each is designed to support best-in-class, end-to-end business processes to optimise business outcomes.

Optimising business outcomes relies on technology-enabled, business-ready services. These services must be governed in order to meet compliance requirements. They must be monitored and managed to help you meet business expectations for service levels. They must also be prioritised so that your resources are aligned with your business priorities. Your sourcing options for these services include traditional in-house or external providers, or those that offer services via the cloud. But no matter where the services come from, they must be sourced, delivered, and governed in the same way. Align services with business priorities HP’s Business-ready Services portfolio can help. With solutions for proactive management of technology-enabled services, you can prioritise services and align resources with business priorities. You also know whether the service is delivering the intended business outcome. HP Information Services also help you harness information to speed decision making, seize market opportunities, and reduce exposure. Working with HP, you can purchase IT assets for internal service delivery, tap into outsourced services, or use cloud services. So, you can combine services from a mix of sources that make sense for your business.

As a true business-ready infrastructure, the HP Adaptive Infrastructure helps you dynamically supply IT resources as a service demands. This allows you to quickly adapt to those demands in real time. You can leverage HP Adaptive Infrastructure solutions whether you provision services via your IT facility or outsource delivery to HP. The HP Adaptive Infrastructure provides virtual platform stacks that can be assembled to serve the needs of a business service. Once the service completes, the stacks are then released back to the pool. Resource provisioning range from a single virtual machine to complex multi-tier environments, including physical and virtual resources. That’s the beauty of the Adaptive Infrastructure model: You pick the best solution for the service at hand, but you manage and automate them in the same way. This can greatly ease management complexity across your internal and external service mix.

Let HP help you source, deliver, and govern the right mix of services for your business. Through our Business Technology portfolio, we help you succeed in your mission to deliver greater business value.
