Why HP is your go-to hybrid work partner
A successful hybrid work strategy will incorporate technology, devices, solutions and services that work seamlessly across individuals and teams, wherever they are located. Ultimately, the goal is enhanced collaboration, greater productivity, and unmatched flexibility, which ultimately combine to create a powerful competitive advantage.
HP knows first-hand the power of hybrid work and the importance of a swift and seamless transition, having transferred its own 70,000-strong workforce to a remote model. At the core of the company’s hybrid strategy was the idea of an employee-centred IT experience. For HP this involved flipping the traditional IT model, with the company using its own cloud-based solutions to proactively gather employee feedback, generating insights and streamlining processes for an improved technology experience.
Having successfully completed its own transition to hybrid, HP has been able to identify the following five requirements to optimise and embed this transformative working model:
Delivering a more user-centric experience for both on- and off-site workers
Ensuring employees have the right devices and peripherals – monitors, printers, headsets and docking stations – to do their best work
Measuring employee experiences to make ongoing adjustments for improvement
Simplifying device deployment, regardless of employee location
Automating endpoint tasks to allow employees to use self-service tools, helping them get up and running faster and reducing the burden on overstretched IT resources
CIOs can now leverage HP’s experience and benefit from its wide range of products and services which are designed to unite employees, optimise productivity, secure IT ecosystems, ensure agility and achieve sustainability goals.
Our whole approach is about friction-free experiences. We deliver a simple and stress-free device ordering process. When a device arrives, it’s set up and personalised within hours. When updates are needed, they run in the background and devices can fix themselves before the user is even aware there is an issue.
HP used four of its own cloud solutions to guarantee the productivity of its 70,000 employees during and after the firm’s transition to hybrid working. HP Adaptive Endpoint Management requires very little input from employees to ensure applications are provisioned and updated automatically in the background, without impacting employee productivity. The firm can also pre-empt and fix device issues thanks to HP Proactive Insights which uses hardware telemetry to identify problems and avoid employee downtime. Meanwhile HP Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) enables IT teams to identify the best device for each individual, deliver it to wherever they are and provide a repair and replacement service to ensure employees can keep working. HP Proactive Insights ensures employees enjoy the best user experience by gathering insights from products and services and customising devices accordingly. These are just a small sample of the HP products and services companies can use to optimise their hybrid strategy.
The success of HP’s transition to a new hybrid working model can be summarised in the following statistics:
