Mobile Information Protection (MIP) Business Case

Avoid Loss of Data

Up to 60 percent of your corporate data resides on unprotected laptops and desktops. Most of it is susceptible to damage or loss because of a range of risks, including viruses, software and hardware failures, corrupted files, theft and security breaches. In fact, 6 percent of your PCs will suffer a data-loss incident this year, totaling more than $2,500 per incident.

Your company's manual backups are sporadic at best. Your resources are being wasted spending time copying or burning CDs and searching to recover data, instead of on initiatives that will increase your competitive edge. And you're expending valuable money and time trying to protect your data. But the most important reason you need to find a solution for these challenges is the incalculable costs associated with data loss. With losses mounting, can you afford the increased downtime and lower productivity?

Mobile Information Protection Services can dramatically reduce your risk of data loss by providing simple backup and restore functionality on your end-user laptops. And HP's Mobile Information Protection Services can provide you with an automated backup solution for your end-user machines that enables quick file recovery without additional technical support; it allows individual restores on demand. Our solution reduces your risk of losing corporate information by providing a fast, automatic and transparent solution for backup and restoring data on your enterprises desktops and laptops.

Our service provides you with the ability to restore data files such as office documents, e-mails, and desktop icons to the PC, a new computer or hard drive after the operating system has been installed.

Market estimates note that 6 percent of PCs are lost, stolen or damaged annually. Using 5,000 seats, 6 percent would represent 300 PCs annually at a cost of $2,500 per incident or $750,000 annually.

Protect End-User Data On Your Laptops and PCs

HP can provide you with rapid, reliable and cost-effective backup and restore of your end-user data. We'll also provide you with comprehensive managed support. Our solution automatically transfers encrypted laptop data over a secure connection to a remote HP storage site.

Backups are transparent to the user and do not interfere with their daily work so their productivity is left intact. With Mobile Information Protection Services, your users can recover individual files within minutes. If a laptop is lost, stolen or damaged, our service restores the employee's data on a new machine without hours.

  • Backup and recover copies of electronic data to prevent losing business functions if the primary copy of that data is lost or becomes corrupt
  • Or if a total computer or hard disk failure occurs
