HP acquired Compaq in order to "offer the industry's most complete set of IT products and services for both businesses and consumers". Almost a year after the acquisition legally closed, this goal remains just that: a goal.
Hewlett-Packard is still in the throes of finalising its channel strategy and the team to deliver it, but personal solutions group boss Barry Hastings says HP will continue to rely heavily on the channel here in New Zealand.
Two months after the official merger with Compaq the managerial structure at HP NZ is in place, though the company says it hasn’t yet made any announcements to staff about likely job cuts.
Ex-Compaq staffers are filling more top jobs at the merged Hewlett-Packard but details on redundancies are still sketchy.
