HP’s Business Intelligence Service Customer Base Increases by 50 Percent in ‘07

Hewlett Packard said Tuesday that the number of customers who opted for its business intelligence services has spiked by 50 percent in 2007, while the number of business intelligence “mega-deals” has totaled to more than 1 million dollars in revenue, a 32 percent increase.

“HP has the right vision, talent, experience and partners to help customers succeed with their business intelligence initiatives,” said Tan Bee Kee, IM Practice Lead, HP Services, Consulting & Integration, Asia Pacific & Japan.

“In one year, we’ve significantly grown our footprint in business intelligence services and we will continue to expand our capabilities to be the partner of choice for businesses.”
Survey results from analyst firm Gartner Inc. show that business intelligence continues to earn top placement for technology spending priorities. A survey of 1,400 chief information officers revealed that business intelligence had the largest increase in priority for two years in a row.

HP believes that its traction in business intelligence solutions has increased because it is able to deliver to customers, faster and easier access to valuable business information for improved decision making across their organizations.
