HP announced new application transformation offerings designed to help enterprises drive innovation by delivering application flexibility and speed.

“Innovation is what separates market makers from market followers,” said Marshal Correia, Director, Enterprise Services, HP India. “At HP, we believe technology is the innovation engine for the enterprise and we have the unique portfolio to fuel it.”

To help enterprises accelerate innovation, HP says it is expanding its Application Transformation solution portfolio to include seven new offerings. The enhanced portfolio allows clients to assess, modernize and manage the applications driving their enterprises.

HP Application Transformation solutions enable enterprises to understand their application portfolios, decide what to keep change or retire.

HP Application Portfolio Management (APM) software, delivered as a service, helps enterprises rapidly identify areas for portfolio rationalization using fact-based analysis against a set of enterprise goals. APM reportedly serves as the foundation for the enterprise application transformation plan and helps to reduce the cost and risks associated with modernization projects.

HP Applications Transformation to Cloud services help enterprises analyze their application and infrastructure environments to determine cloud suitability, develop a customized roadmap for transformation and ultimately deliver those applications via the cloud. On the other hand, HP Application Transformation Services for Client Computing modernizes client device environments to Windows 7, delivering improved productivity, mobility and security. Using automation, standardized processes and a global workforce, HP can drive down the cost and time needed for implementation.

With the threats from application risks increasing both in number and sophistication, security is a major concern and challenge for modernization projects. HP says its Fortify Real-Time Hybrid Analysis is the first application security analysis solution that discovers the root cause of software vulnerabilities by observing attacks in real time.

Currently going direct for large enterprise accounts and the Government vertical, Correia however added that the SMBs would definitely be on HP’s radar going forward. “HP’s SI, MSP and ISV ecosystem would have an active role to play for these offerings in future,” he said. Correia also emphasized on the importance of Application Transformation in the Indian market by stating that enterprise IT spending has seen huge changes over the last decade and organizations are rightly poised to invest in capabilities such as these.
