HP Helps Enterprises Transform Mobile Computing Environments

PALO ALTO, Calif. - HP Enterprise Services today announced new and enhanced mobile application services that help clients extend key enterprise information and business processes – anywhere, any time and through any mobile device.

Mobile solutions can transform the way an enterprise conducts its business by linking information among customers, operations and suppliers. However, developing mobile applications, extending existing applications to mobile devices and supporting mobile users is complex and costly, tying up valuable IT resources.

HP Mobile Application Services are designed to integrate technology components properly to deliver secure, seamless, context-aware experiences. With highly reliable access to information and applications when and where they are needed, clients can improve customer relationships, enhance competitive advantage and increase user productivity.

To enable mobility, HP helps clients build new innovative mobile applications, simplify existing applications and extend them to mobile devices. HP uses a write-once, deploy-anywhere architecture to support multiple device types and operating systems.

HP Mobile Application Services span the mobility life cycle, from roadmap planning and applications design to development, customization, installation and management. The portfolio includes:
• Mobile Opportunity Workshop – offers a structured analysis process that helps clients identify which processes or ideas are best suited to become mobile applications based on their business value and ease of implementation.
• Mobile Enterprise Strategy Assessment – helps clients develop enterprise-level mobility strategies, plans and solutions to drive added value.
• Mobile Application Development Services – provide custom, packaged and hosted client, client/server and cloud-based solutions with support for all leading operating systems.
• Mobile Enterprise Solution Architecture Consulting – supports business-to-business, business-to-consumer, business-to-employee and system-to-system solution architectures and designs from both a technical and business perspective.

• Mobile Application Testing – helps mobile applications work across multiple platforms and the desired user experience is achieved.
