Summary

Strategists at technology vendors looking to partner with Hewlett-Packard (HP) see the company's sprawling size and wonder how to partner effectively for their own success. Forrester believes that HP has revitalized itself since 2005 under CEO Mark Hurd and has effective plans for market success and growth. The HP product portfolio creates a wealth of opportunities for partners to flourish in both HP's enterprise and small and medium-size business (SMB) customer segments.
