Overview of HP
HP is the world’s largest IT company, with revenue totalling $114.6bn in fiscal 2009. It is ranked 10th in the Fortune 500 and its 304,000 employees operate in more than 170 countries. The company, based in Palo Alto, California, operates across several distinct business units, covering PCs and mobile devices, imaging and printing, enterprise servers and storage, software, services, and financing.
Started in 1939 by William Hewlett and David Packard, the company began as a manufacturer of scientific instruments. It was incorporated in 1947, and went public 10 years later. It branched out from the test and measurement marketplace into other fields such as medical systems and analytical instruments in the 1960s, developing its first computer in 1966. Ten years later, in 1976, it surpassed $1bn in sales, growing exponentially to $2bn in revenues just three years later.
HP expanded its presence in the computer business substantially in the 1980s, investing heavily in desktop computers in addition to many computer systems. It made a foray into the printing market. By the end of the 1990s, it experienced such success in these fields that it spun off its original test and measurement and components businesses, forming Agilent Technologies as a discrete company. The company has been through an acquisitive phase of late. Particularly large purchases made recently included Palm, 3Com, and EDS.
