Greetings and welcome to

format. And you
more additions as you
browse through future
issues. Why? Because we
heard you.
About two months ago,
members of our sales
force came to us and
spoke up on your behalf. They said that you want more
information about Hewlett
your computing needs. You want to know how HP has
helped people like yourselves solve business problems.
Many of you have hardware,
needs that you don't even know we can address. What can
we do about that? Our answer is threefold: Management
Perspective
of
Hewlett-Packard's con~puting strategy from our upper
management team; a new feature article focusing on what
that strategy means to you; and the addition of monthly
success stories demonstrating how that strategy helped
customers.
As
the author of the premiere Management Perspective
article, I'd like to begin by previewing for you some of the
basic components of the strategy we're pursuing in the
1990s. Some
continuation of the things we did right in the 1980s.

and currently remain the only vendor to provide multiuser
systems that take advantage of this technology. Last March
