HP European Solution Centre for finacial markets

London 05 February 2001 Hewlett-Packard opened a new HP European Solution Centre for capital markets, based in London. The HP European Solution Centre is expected to provide customers and partners with a full lifecycle solution from pre-installation sizing, configuration, integration and proof-of-concept testing to total solution support, resulting in faster deployment rates and a significant drop in client incurred expenses. The HP European Solution Centre is now available for HP's mission-critical financial services solutions in the areas of electronic trading, treasury management, securities processing and e-banking.

HP's approach is a first in the capital markets sector to combine its laboratory with operations management and support. Competitor firms working on solutions for other industries have previously conducted gradual pre-implementation testing and integration, and post-implementation support service levels, but the final burden for success has resided on-site, with the customer -- with all the consulting fees, delayed time-to-market and complex, multi-supplier support plans which that approach can entail. The HP European Solution Centre pools the expertise and resources of HP and its partners to streamline the implementation and management of customized solutions for improved time-to-market and lower total cost of ownership, creating solid product experience and value-added benefits to its customers.
