At the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando, Florida, Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd tells Gartner analysts Leslie Fiering and Carl Claunch that HP plans to stay focused on its core technology and "double down" on its server, storage and management software businesses.
The head of Hewlett-Packard surveys the giant company, figures 150,000 workers is too many, and chooses to cut thousands of jobs.
Sales and support workers are hardest hit under restructuring plan intended to save US$1.9 billion annually.
They didn't select a rock star CEO this time around, but Hewlett-Packard would like nothing more than for Mark Hurd to turn back the clock to a blander, more predictable time in the company's history.
At Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd discusses the steps the company is taking to streamline its business and reduce bureaucracy for the benefit of its customers and partners.
The newly-appointed CEO meets the press for the first time and talks about his mission to improve Hewlett-Packard's performance by focusing on clear targets and a "team" approach to reaching them.
Hewlett-Packard executives are mulling plans to improve over the next 18 months the technology the company uses to manage its direct sales, while it continues with commercial printing efforts and acquisitions of software companies.
