World Partner Forum: HP Reinvent 2019
Welcome to Houston, Partners! We hope you’re ready for an exciting couple of days. Here’s what to expect at HP Reinvent 2019:
Transform to Perform
We live in a time of unprecedented change and opportunity. Transformation is happening all around us, moving at a profound pace. The digital transformation of our global economy and society is making everything more connected, more intelligent and more vulnerable.
As our digital and physical worlds merge, all facets of business are being impacted on a global scale — from jobs, to trade policies to supply chains. Technology will continue to disrupt business and service models, as customer expectations continue to increase. Brand reputation; including a company’s sustainable impact policies around their people, the planet and their community; have never been more relevant and important.
For those who can transform at scale, there are massive opportunities to connect people, ideas and experiences. This is the fuel that drives us.
HP’s commitment to take purposeful action to support your business in this environment is unwavering. Preparing ourselves, our partners and our customers for what’s coming next is our conversation at
HP Reinvent 2019.
Customer experience is our true North, the center of everything we do. Together with our partners, we are unbeatable.
Together — we will transform to perform.
