P&G Inks Enterprise Services Deal

Procter & Gamble (P&G) signs a multiyear agreement for HP Enterprise Services to help provide an “Always On” operating environment, expected to enable the consumer goods leader to keep products moving on time, from production all the way to shoppers’ carts in the retail store.

 

“We greatly appreciate the continuous value and service quality that HP Enterprise Services brings us,” says Filippo Passerini, group president, Global Business Services, and chief information officer, Procter & Gamble. “‘Always On’ isn’t just a concept; it’s a critical business driver for us. The HP team has proven its ability to deliver with quality and flexibility.”

 

Under the terms of the agreement, HP will be accountable for the comprehensive systems reliability of critical P&G processes, such as manufacturing, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, physical distribution and financial close.

 

Additionally, HP will lead P&G’s Information Technology Operations Integration Service to drive transparency and consistency across P&G and its technology partners by providing standard tools, processes and an integrated dashboard. The new model aims to enable P&G to easily connect vendors and create a flexible environment that speeds innovation while reducing overall cost and improving quality for P&G.
