De services zorgen ervoor dat klanten hun strategieën sneller kunnen uitvoeren met minder risico en gereduceerde kosten. HP Integration Servicesbiedt 10 nieuwe services aan om de meest voorkomende uitdagingen, op industrieël en technologisch gebied, op te lossen. Dankzij best practices en kennis vanuit duizenden klantrelaties, bevatten HP's services oplossingen op het gebied van technologische ontwikkelingen, data migratie, verhuizing, locatieplanning en project management om te zorgen voor goede resultaten.

In plaats daarvan biedt strategisch, oplossingsgericht denken de klanten meer waarde bij het werken in hun IT ecosystemen en bij het optimaliseren van hun IT hulpmiddelen.
