HP and BT Build an Adaptive Infrastructure

Overview As one of Europe's leading providers of telecommunications services, BT has witnessed a major transformation in its business in recent years.

As a platform for these services, a flexible, adaptive IT infrastructure is essential. Cost reduction is also a top priority. BT entered into a strategic global alliance with HP. As part of this alliance, BT outsourced the management of its midrange and desktop infrastructures in the UK to HP. HP provided the standard infrastructure to enable BT to consolidate its midrange estate.
