Hey everyone - I'm back from the Super Bowl this week.  What a game!  This
year's spectacle was one of the best ever -- and proved to be a welcome, yet
sharp contrast to the difficulties that plague our economy.  However, to me, the
Super Bowl isn't simply about football, or even the halftime extravaganza
(however great Springsteen was!)

I had the opportunity to meet with more than thirty CIOs and executives -
some who are already executing with HP on the three tenets of our strategy: 
optimize infrastructure, manage environment, and improve workflow, and some who
are eager to get started with our Print 2.0 workshops and assessments.  With
their continued focus on costs, productivity, security and environmental impact,
it is becoming more and more clear that HP has lined up the solutions they need
to combat the brutal realities of today's business climate. 

So, while the Steelers delivered on their promise to capture their sixth
championship title, and 'The Boss' delivered on his promise of a '12-minute'
halftime party, our enterprise printing team is also ready to deliver.  We're
committed to delivering the solutions our customers need to do more with less,
boost productivity, protect their infrastructure and reign in the costs and
environmental impact of their paper-intensive processes.

Business challenges on your mind too?  Interested in learning more about our
workshops and assessments?  Check out our Printing and Imaging Solutions page.

I’m up early and ready for an engaging and informative day with customers and
partners here at ImagePrint. In all of our customer conversations today, we’re
focused on how we can help customers optimize their infrastructure, manage their
environment and improve their workflows. 

With this in mind, today we are excited to announce three new imaging and
printing solutions that include:

• HP and Perceptive Software
  Capture and Workflow Solutions, which enable customers to capture and
  organize all types of documents then retrieve a specific page instantly from a
  wide variety of standard as well as custom enterprise business applications.
  
• HP and ReadSoft Automated
  Invoice Processing Solution that transforms paper-based workflows into a
  seamless electronic process. This allows for finance and administration teams to
  interpret, validate and verify information contained in printed invoices.
  
• HP Automated Invoice Processing
  Solution for Manufacturing captures invoice data for manufacturers at remote
  locations using HP MFPs and rapidly interprets, verifies and approves the
  information electronically. The solution facilitates rigorous records
  management, compliance and risk reduction, creating fully digital documents that
  can be processed in days rather than weeks. It is ideal for manufacturers
  looking to reduce labor, document storage, shipping, and courier costs.
  

In addition, we are also announcing the new Green IT Action plan for printing and
imaging, a step-by-step guide to help customers develop a plan to reduce the
environmental impact of printing and imaging.

The new solutions and the Green IT Action Plan expand HP’s portfolio of
solutions to addresses the document management and sustainability needs of
enterprise customers. To learn more about these solutions, visit: http://www.hp.com/go/imageprintma.

I’m looking forward to meeting with customers and to a great night that
includes the “Taste of Florida” dinner and reception here at ImagePrint.

When UPS approached us about creating a solution that would help them
streamline their package scanning and labeling process, you can imagine that we
were up to the challenge. Immediately we knew it was a natural partnership – UPS
has historically adopted innovative technology as a leader in supply chain and
logistics and HP brings years of IT experience and ground breaking innovations.

Today,
I’m excited to announce that UPS is deploying our combination scanner and
paperless printing device – the HP
Handheld sp400 All-in-One – This groundbreaking device prints millions of
sorting instructions in ink directly on packages without the use of labels.

The innovation behind this solution is just part of its success. With the HP
Handheld sp400 All-in-One, UPS will experience increased efficiency and
effectiveness at a lower cost, while reducing energy consumption and carbon
emissions.

Take a look at these statistics:

• At a beta test in Orlando, where the HP Handheld sp400 All-in-One was being
  used for about 40,000 packages a day, it reduced errors to zero.
  
• The device enables UPS to be more productive; saving approximately 92,456
  hours per year.
  
• UPS expects to decrease operational costs by more than $30 million by 2013.
  
• The HP Handheld sp400 All-in-One will also help UPS reduce their
  environmental impact through paper and ink reduction. By eliminating all
  paper-based label printing for just one year, UPS expects to save 1,338 tons of
  paper and reduce their carbon emissions by 3,807 tons.

We’re excited that UPS and other companies will have the opportunity to
incorporate this device into their business processes to become more efficient,
improve workflow and reduce carbon footprint.

What products ignite your passion and produce an impact? Are there any
initiatives either in your company or others that you’ve seen reduce carbon
footprint and change behavior?

Check out more information about this announcement including a video
co-produced by HP and UPS here and let me know your thoughts.
