As General Mills began planning a recent expansion to its corporate campus in Minneapolis, Minn., the company's IS team realized it was the perfect time to implement new functionality and performance into its existing HP ProCurve network. The infrastructure upgrade provides General Mills with a corporate network that offers significant bandwidth, secure guest access and the ability to easily expand and standardize with ProCurve Networking globally. General Mills chose ProCurve Networking because of its technology, dedication to standards and renowned service, as well as the two companies' long-standing IT relationship. According to Eris Hanson, IS department manager, General Mills, "HP has always made us feel like a partner, not a customer. With HP, we have a voice, and that voice carries." Hanson emphasized HP's support of industry standards is a big reason why General Mills plans to standardize worldwide on the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl series. "With industry standards-based solutions, ProCurve Networking provides General Mills flexibility to augment our global network and take advantage of new technologies as they emerge."
