HP turns to services as hardware sales falter

Interesting that as we just discussed HP's need to move into services, they decide the same thing. They came to the same conclusions IBM did last decade when they encountered increasing difficulty staying competitive in the hardware business and saw opportunities to capitalize on their expertise of integrated systems.

  1. The real question is whether IBM is simply trying to catch up to IBM's strategy--just a wee bit late--or is it trying to differentiate itself with services. Time will tell..
