HP has announced a 50 percent increase in the number of its customers for business intelligence services for fiscal year 2007, while the number of business intelligence "mega-deals" – projects totaling more than $ 1 million in revenue – increased by 32 percent.
HP is quickly becoming a worldwide leader in delivering business intelligence solutions to customers who want faster and easier access to valuable business information for improved decision making across their organizations.
Survey results from analyst Gartner Inc. show that business intelligence continues to earn top placement for technology spending priorities. A survey of 1,400 chief information officers revealed that business intelligence had the largest increase in priority for two straight years.
"HP has greatly increased its share of the market for business intelligence services this year with a major presence in the field," said David Tan, General Manager, Technology Solutions Group and Managing Director, HP Philippines. "We’re clearly on the right track with the proper vision, talent, experience, and partners to help our customers succeed."
