ImagePrint 2008

I’m happy to report that ImagePrint 2008 was a tremendous success. This year, we had a record number of enterprise customers and channel and solution partners in attendance. Not only was it a great turnout, but everything from the breakout sessions to the keynotes to the solutions showcase were first-rate and we received extremely positive feedback from our customers and partners alike. I have the privilege to work with many smart and talented people at HP and really saw my team engaging at all levels.

At every turn I was hearing from customers that this event made a difference and that they are going to take immediate action on building their Print 2.0 plans, which allow them to save money and improve their business processes just by assessing their imaging and printing environment. For those already down the path of optimizing their infrastructure and/or managing their environments, they wanted to extend their plans by improving their workflows and streamlining their imaging and printing operations.

Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s event.

I have an exciting personal announcement to make here on my blog. As many of you know, for the past 15 months, I've enjoyed my time in our world-wide enterprise business leading the marketing and sales program functions. I've had the chance to travel abroad and better understand our global business and strategy. And I've had the opportunity to meet HP people and customers all over the world.

Now I am really excited to return to the US region and assume the vice president and general manager leadership role for our enterprise business. I will be responsible for our enterprise named and territory accounts as well as our Public Sector business. In addition, I will have responsibility for our Managed Print Services business, industry and horizontal solutions and our routes to market. Luckily, I have a talented and experienced leadership team in place to help drive our success. And I am thrilled to be on the front lines again working hard to delight our customers and win business.

I’m looking forward to getting out in the field even more to connect with and meet customers. Even in this credit crunch, customers are looking for solutions that help them save money, improve efficiency and enhance their environmental stewardship. Viacom is a great testament to how HP is helping our customers tackle their biggest IT problems.

I’ll keep on blogging here – to share my thoughts and ideas. Let me know what’s on your mind.

HP Enterprise Advisory Council: Gathering Customer Feedback from Around the World

Just returning back from my trip to Europe. We met with 12 customers in Berlin, now one of my favorite cities, as part of our enterprise advisory council. The group of thought leaders represents leading companies in central and eastern Europe, as well as the middle east, Mediterranean and Africa. We had companies from Russia, Poland, Budapest, Romania, Czech Republic, Turkey, Greece, and others. Over the course of two days, they provided invaluable feedback on our strategy, direction, portfolio, and solutions.

The feedback gathered here impacts the key decisions we will make in the short term and long term. This council is one of many that we do around the world to keep a close pulse on our customers, market trends, and key opportunities. After the council, we spent two days in southern Germany with our enterprise imaging and printing region leadership team for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). We have a very strong leadership team that has been consistently growing the business and our market share in EMEA. It was great to see how our plans are coming together to continue this leadership in the market.

Next week I am off to meet my colleagues from EDS which should be very exciting. After that, it is another council meeting, this time in Banff, Canada. It may be time to sell my home and move in to the Marriott!
