HP Announces New Premium PCs, Offers Sevice As a Service, Launches University for Partner Employees

HP Inc on Tuesday announced new premium PCs, offered Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) and launched a university to enhance skills of the companys 18,000 partner employees.

The announcements were made at the HP Reinvent Partner Forum, where the company introduced modular, all-in-one workstation designed for the modern workforce.

"As traditional boundaries between work and life go away, HP is focused on designing customer experiences that allow users to seamlessly transition between the two," said Alex Cho, Vice President and General Manager, Commercial PCs of HP Inc.
In 2015, Hewlett Packard was split into two, with HP Inc selling printers, personal computers and services while HP Enterprise (HPE) was spun off to focus on selling hardware like servers to businesses which were setting up data centres.

HP Inc has come out with DaaS, offering lifecycle services in an all-inclusive managed solution with per-seat, per-month cost, the company announced.

The benefit for customers would be to get a single source for hardware, support, and IT services in a one-price monthly.

DaaS would enhance efficiency and free up IT time and resources to drive business growth.

"DaaS is the only solution for customers and partners that provides the right lifecycle services tailored to individual needs," according to Bill Avey, Vice President and General Manager, Personal Systems Services of HP Inc.

Thomas Jensen, Vice President, Worldwide Channel Sales Strategy said the HP University would combine sales skills education, product training and certifications to enable partners to migrate to contractual and subscription sales.

The global programme would combines online and instructor-led training throughout 170 countries. Offered in 11 languages, the programme was piloted and tested with partners in three markets prior to deployment.

Jensen said that a "simple and clear education program and streamlined, effective operations" was aimed at "maximising growth and profitability".
