Executive Summary
HP OpenView has now matured into one of the four largest IT management software vendors. HP OpenView has a comprehensive system and service management solutions portfolio and also supports a strong ecosystem of partners that enhances HP's offering and also provides a strong channel to market. The Peregrine products have completed their service management solution, and the opportunity to cross-sell classical HP OpenView products to Peregrine customers has provided for sales growth. Now, in December 2006, the HP OpenView organization will face its greatest challenge of all — how to merge with Mercury. While most of the two product portfolios are complementary, HP will have to revise some of its product road maps to better leverage Mercury technologies and to cater to Mercury clients. The integration of the two organizations, essentially of equal size in R&D and in sales, is also a critical process that will take the best part of 2007 to complete.
