A report this week suggested the Australian operations of financial services specialist Aviva would not renew a key outsourcing contract with Hewlett-Packard when it expires this November.
Financial services giant Aviva has started to sign key ICT services contracts as it breaks up a larger outsourcing deal formerly held by Hewlett-Packard.
HP will provide help-desk service to Microsoft employees and contractors in a deal worth tens of millions of dollars.
Hewlett-Packard officials have offered a peek at the work going on behind the scenes to revamp its technology systems in the wake of its purchase of Compaq Computer.

The HP Jornada 548 is slim, rugged, easy to use, and comes loaded with dozens of useful features. About the only thing lacking in our review unit was a 16-bit colour display.
Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features, the colour laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. We recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.

At AU$599, the Photosmart C8180 sits in Hewlett-Packard's lineup as one of its most expensive All-in-One (AIO) players. With a suite of features, it's not without a few missteps. The photo quality is better than average and the hardware is well-designed, but the lack of an auto-document feeder (ADF) and painfully slow print speed prevent us from giving this otherwise excellent printer a better rating.
