THE OUTLOOK : ASIA ROUNDTABLE BY THE NUMBERS
How are you identifying opportunities over the next decade for HP customers in your region ?
TC / We monitor the trends in our countries by talking to our customers and partners . Some countries , such as Japan and Korea , are at the forefront of 5G adoption , and we are able to apply what we learn from them to other countries . Australia and New Zealand have a significant focus on sustainability , and we are able to pick up future trends and best practices from them .
JJ / The digital boom has led to the fast growth of Chinese companies like Tencent , JD , and Alibaba . HP is a partner-first company , and we are partnering with these leading companies to build and evolve ecosystems . For example , HP and Alibaba Cloud have built an end-to-end classroom platform to promote the integration of online and offline teaching resources to meet China ’ s agenda on education information .
KP / In a country like India with low PC penetration , we are now seeing the shift from one PC per family to one per person . We have a strong ability to gain information from customers , channel partners , ecommerce players , and businesses , and are deploying digital tools to generate insights from this data to better our go-to-market and product strategies .
VC / We see tremendous opportunity in helping companies stay ahead of the curve . Across the government , manufacturing , financial services , healthcare , and education , digital transformation provides new growth possibilities , and we ’ re pursuing industry partnerships , driving our own initiatives like HP for Business , which offers device leasing for PCs and printers , and giving manufacturers faster access to 3D services and expertise .
