Bill Lewkowski, Metro Health | HP Discover Las Vegas 2014
Bill Lewkowski, Metro Health, with Dave Vellante and Jeff Frick at HP Discover Las Vegas 2014 @thecube #theCUBE - #HPDiscover #HPE Hewlett-Packard famously started out as two guys innovating in a garage. Many years later, HP is finding its way back to those roots. We got a glimpse over three days at the HP Discover event, broadcast live on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s flagship product. Simultaneously, a discussion on CrowdChat, SiliconANGLE’s new social media aggregator, captured the action and thought leadership throughout the broadcast. The takeaway was that HP is climbing back with innovation on several fronts, which it carried under the banner of a “new vision of IT”. It is a message that should carry well to HP’s audience within the various business lines. This renewed direction is evident in the trajectory of products that included data analysis, storage, cloud and HP’s server lines. The company has taken criticism in the midst of a brand restart, faced with layoffs and a soft enterprise marketing message. HP is an industry giant that is going to have to leverage the trust built into its brand and relationships with the enterprise. Over the final two days of broadcast, a pair of HP customers were front and center on theCUBE, telling the tale of real-word successes in their efforts to modernize, save and streamline, starting with Bill Lewkowski. The CIO of Metro Health talked about his organization’s efforts to digitize and centralize all patient records.
