1 Desktop Management Overview
HP Client Management Solutions provides standards-based solutions for managing and controlling
desktops, workstations, and notebook PCs in a networked environment. HP is a patent holder of
manageability technology and pioneered desktop manageability in 1995 with the introduction of the
industry’s first fully manageable desktop personal computers. Since then, HP has led an industrywide effort to develop the standards and infrastructure required to effectively deploy, configure, and
manage desktops, workstations, and notebook PCs. HP develops its own management software and
works closely with leading management software solution providers in the industry to ensure
compatibility between HP Client Management Solutions and these products. HP Client Management
Solutions are an important aspect of our broad commitment to providing you with solutions that assist
you in lowering the total cost of owning and maintaining the PCs throughout their lifecycle.
