HPE Financial Services has transitioned from a traditional IT financing company to an IT asset lifecycle management company, according to Michael Swan (pictured), vice president of Financial Services at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.“The way I like to talk about our role in HPE GreenLake is that we’re both the financial as well as the asset management engine inside of GreenLake,” he said. “We’re really what enables customers to be able to pay for infrastructure as a service, pay for it as they go as they need to over time. It’s because HPFS is providing the funding source for the infrastructure so the customer doesn’t have to pay for that themselves
