REDMOND, Wash. — Sept. 12, 2016 — Microsoft Corp. has entered a six-year agreement with HP Inc.
to deploy Microsoft Dynamics to thousands of employees across HP,
dramatically enhancing collaboration across marketing, sales and service
operations. With Dynamics, as well as Azure, Office 365 and other
Microsoft Cloud solutions, HP has invested in the sales and service
collaboration platform it needs to deliver a seamless sales experience
for customers and partners while increasing the company’s performance
and economies.
“We have chosen Microsoft Dynamics as our CRM solution for our direct
selling, partners and services,” said Jon Flaxman, chief operating
officer, HP. “This brings us a cloud-based solution that delivers a more
effective and efficient collaboration engine across our business.”
HP is undergoing a journey to transform its sales and partner
environment, driving increased productivity and collaboration in a
virtually all-digital world. As part of this transformation, the company
is moving to a more integrated sales experience for both HP sales reps
and the channel partner community.
Complementing Dynamics CRM, Office 365 provides worldwide sales,
service and marketing professionals at HP with an immersive, connected
productivity experience for teamwork and collaboration. In addition,
Power BI will empower HP marketers to uncover powerful business insights
and predictions. Azure will provide the IT organization with a global,
open, hybrid cloud for all of the solutions, while also giving HP a
platform for new capabilities and services at a low total cost of
ownership.
“HP continues to innovate in its customer engagement, with the tools
and business processes it provides to its employees and partner
community and, of course, the products and services it delivers,” said
Judson Althoff, executive vice president of Worldwide Commercial
Business at Microsoft. “We share this dedication to digital
transformation with HP and are incredibly proud to work with it as it
delivers amazing technology experiences to people around the globe.”
In July, Microsoft unveiled plans to introduce a new approach to
business process applications with Microsoft Dynamics 365, a move that
evolves its current CRM and ERP cloud solutions into one cloud service
with new purpose-built apps to help manage specific business functions.
