Customer Quote
"In our legacy environment, we could support only 95% of employees working in the office. Now, we can support 100% of our employees working from anywhere."
Shawana Gaines, Vice President, Employee and Infrastructure Solutions
A Better Device Experience
An early adopter of work-life flexibility, HP has supported a highly mobile workforce for many years. When its IT team faced transitioning nearly 70,000 employees, contractors, and their devices to a remote and hybrid work environment, they found powerful support in HP Solutions that made this crucial shift both simple and transformational.
HP set out to ensure they could:
- Pre-provision devices at the factory and ship directly to users
- Provide simple user set-up in under an hour
- Enable a productive and secure work experience from any location
- Provide a near smartphone set-up experience
- Ensure faster boot times and better performance by improving CPU and memory utilization
- Offer more control over reboot requirements via deferrals
- Support application installations on demand via the self-service store
- Deliver IT support for all employees regardless of location
HP IT's Three-Pillar Approach to Business Outcomes
HP IT implements a three-pillar approach to deliver desired business outcomes:
Asset Management
Implementing end-to-end device management brings the right devices, modular services, and insights that allow HP IT to optimize the end-users' digital experience while controlling costs.
Modern Management
Transforming HP IT to a fully modern and cloud-native endpoint management service that securely and efficiently supports the hybrid worker, regardless of location and connectivity option.
Data Driven
Supporting a comprehensive analytics platform provides HP IT with a 360-degree view of endpoint performance and health, along with the end-user digital experience. This view allows HP IT to proactively remediate issues, manage the user experience, and make data-driven decisions around fleet management.
Leaping from Legacy to Cloud-Based Infrastructure
While already in the midst of a digital transformation, HP accelerated to immediately modernize its infrastructure and endpoint management to support the sudden pandemic-driven shift to a remote and hybrid world. The move went beyond just pieces of hardware to include software, authentication, device imaging, and break/fix. All had to happen seamlessly, everywhere employees were, due to the workforce operating remotely from home.
HP Priorities for Cloud-Based Digital Revolution
- Deliver uninterrupted productivity for end-users
- Provide support for remote workers
- Eliminate reliance on VPN infrastructure for patching and application deployments
- Reduce resource constraints on IT
- Simplify device configuration and deployment
- Increase security across the full environment
How HP Achieved IT
HP IT continually uses HP products and services in IT operations to both test and validate they meet customer needs and to generate new and creative services and solutions. The HP IT team chose the HP Endpoint Management Service and HP Workforce Insights and Analytics to support their growing hybrid work environment.
Do Anything from Anywhere
Being able to do things in real time is more important than ever. With HP Endpoint Management, IT delivers everything needed from the cloud. When an employee opens the device box, they simply turn it on and log in. Everything happens in the background without IT help. For users, it's an easy out-of-the-box experience much like getting a new smartphone. Apps are available from a self-service portal without accessing a corporate network.
Fix Problems Before They Happen
With traditional on-prem management, it's next to impossible for IT to see what's going on with every employee device. But cloud-based HP Workforce Insights & Analytics cuts down the need for users to submit help desk tickets by enabling IT to address device and application issues before they cause problems. These analytics help identify poor device performance due to device age or remediable factors like CPU or memory utilization. IT can easily manage asset inventory, device health, and performance—with multi-OS, multi-vendor support from preconfigured, easily customizable dashboards.
Take the Hassle out of Device Management
The capability of HP Managed Device Services to drop-ship 30,000-plus PCs in one year all over the world to employees' homes is a true enabler for anywhere work. Whether a device issue is identified through analytics or help desk incidents, a replacement is shipped directly to the user. Workers simply open the new box with the replacement PC and return the broken one in the same box. The PC can then be refurbished by HP and returned to the fleet, a definite advantage during supply-chain shortages.
The End Results
- 98% User satisfaction survey results with HP Endpoint Management
- 30% Reduction in support tickets from end-users
- 70 Migrated to App Store (All Self Service)

A Manageability Win-Win
HP successfully shifted from legacy on-premises infrastructure and processes to modern, cloud-based, unified endpoint management. Unlike the typical manual model, this remote and automated approach to device onboarding, software patches, and updates results in less hands-on time and fewer endpoint security compliance worries for IT. For remote employees, this translated to a seamless onboarding and maintenance experience—without the hassle of needing to reimage their devices or connecting to VPN for apps.
