Greetings and welcome to
Management Perspective.
you are a regular reader of

HP

will

notice that
is an addition to the usual
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
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.

PA

­We started delivering RISC
and currently remain the only vendor to provide multiuser
systems that take advantage of this technology. Last March
we shocked the industry with the introduction of our
HP Apollo 9000 Series 700 RISC workstations, and today

boast performance leadership at every critical workstation
price point. Our past and future commitments to
technology

dramatically reducing their development costs and
improving their time to market. Also, our Open Systems
Environment provides you with the assistance you need to
break through the barriers to open systems.

Of course, hardware performance and multivendor capabili

why our strategy for the 1990s still includes establishing and
maintaining strong and successful relatio

Finally, our strategy for the 1990s

including better access to information and resources across
applications and geographies, less data redundancy and
better data integrity, faster application development and
easier maintenance, greater flexibility in configuring systems,
and the potential to tap specialized resources on the

server computing
like NCS,
tools, and applications. We're adding four new
development tools as weU as three new applications, and
you can expect more in the months ahead.
