Finding the Right Balance For Your Business

To compete today, you need to be able to respond quickly to an ever-changing array of market pressures and customer demands. However, your organization can only be as nimble and responsive as the systems that support it. In HP, you have an ally whose expertise is unmatched when it comes to developing quality and secure applications that give you the agility you need to succeed.

While each engagement we undertake is unique, our guiding principle remains the same: to help you find a solution that represents the best possible balance of speed, cost and quality.

Your Ally In Applications Development

the perfect balance of cost, speed and quality

Cost Versus Value

There's a big difference between finding the lowest up-front cost and finding the best overall value. Initial development costs normally represent only a fraction of the long-term, total cost of ownership of any application.

At HP, our Designed for Run™ approach leverages our knowledge of business fundamentals, technology, platforms and applications management to create solutions that cost far less to maintain and operate over the life of the application. In addition, our Best Shore® strategy can help you realize substantial savings not only in development, but also in the ongoing management and maintenance of your applications. The Best Shore® strategy is a key component of our global, end-to-end delivery approach, providing innovative, high-quality services, along with consistency in technology, process, tools and automation, combined with vertical industry expertise across the entire delivery system.

This strategy helps you achieve your business goals at the best price, and to reduce your information technology (IT) spend by as much as 30 percent.

Faster Development. Quicker Results.

The speed at which you can create and deploy applications that support your business strategy is crucial to your success. But application development isn't “cookie cutter.” We understand each application needs to be developed on its own terms to return the best business value. That's why we use multiple software development approaches – so we can take advantage of the strengths of each methodology to provide a framework that best meets your needs.

For example, when you have urgent needs that demand an extra quick response, we can expedite the process using our Iterative and Agile methodologies. These methods isolate the specific areas that are most critical to your operations and deliver an application that can be deployed as quickly.

In addition, our Best Shore® strategy leverages the resources from over 100 of our development facilities worldwide. This enables us to access the capabilities you need quickly and cost efficiently, while ensuring consistency of service – and in the process improve development productivity by as much as 25 percent.
