Matchless Microsoft experience and expertise

HP knows Microsoft better than anyone. Microsoft has endorsed us as the only Worldwide Prime Integrator for Windows Server 2003, Windows NT, Exchange 2003 Server, and BizTalk Server 2004. From the very beginning, we've shared technology and engineering resources to develop and advance the Microsoft Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP operating systems, as well as Microsoft Exchange 2000, Datacenter Server, and, most recently, the complete suite of .NET enterprise servers.

Migration services - smoothing your transition

Is it time to move from your legacy UNIX or Windows NT4 environment to a Windows-based platform? Whatever your migration needs, HP Services has the experience to help you build an agile, reliable, cost-effective Windows on HP BladeSystem infrastructure.

We’ve handled millions of Microsoft deployments for businesses worldwide. We have more than 28,000 Microsoft-trained Windows specialists on staff. In addition, our software professionals work every day with platforms that include Sun, IBM, and Dell in migration efforts. And we’re familiar with almost every flavor of database, be it DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, or Allbase. You name the platform or application; we understand it and can work with it.

Solution design and deployment services - for a quick, confident startup
