Origin Energy, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and Avon Cycles are some of the enterprises to have implemented the HP As-a-Service Solution for SAP HANA.
Moreover, this solution will help big data analytics. The term refers to management of vast quantities of unstructured data and providing solutions for proper storage, safety, data mining and easy access to this information from a cloud-based structure. Therefore, greater adoption of the service will ultimately help H-P to grow its business and increase revenues.
We believe that these new offerings from H-P will reduce the complexity of IT asset and data management. Hence, we expect adoption to be robust, boosting H-P's financial performance.
The company's traction in the cloud, security and big data segments are positives. Its strategic focus on the software business will help it to achieve long-term profitability. However, continuing macroeconomic challenges, tepid IT spending and competition from International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) and Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) are the near-term headwinds.
Currently, Hewlett-Packard has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
