Hewlett-Packard Makes Its Move Against IBM in Big Data - Businessweek

Big goals for HP's big data solutions

"As demand for personal computers continues to slump, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is trying to make itself more attractive to businesses. On June 11 the company unveiled HAVEn, a software package that knits together technology from its data analysis units. The move pits HP against IBM (IBM), a leader in mining corporate data. While HP long succeeded with consumer-friendly design and printing features, it now aims to offer corporate clients a more complete package, says Chief Operating Officer Bill Veghte. “Customers want solutions,” Veghte says. “They don’t want simply a piece of hardware or a piece of software.”"
