DW and BI Innovation

In January 2007, HP formed a business unit within HP Software to focus exclusively on business intelligence. The HP Business Intelligence Group is part of a larger company effort to aggregate HP’s capabilities across infrastructure, software and services and complements HP Services’ investments in business intelligence with the Knightsbridge acquisition.

HP is not noted as a systems integration provider in BI/DW, while its peer competitors have deliberate services strategies in this area. However, HP does deliver solution strategies that use other vendor products [such as HP's Darwin Reference Architecture].
