		<description><![CDATA[The leading PC manufacturer in the world, Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) recently announced that it is venturing into the patient care business. HP has won a contract from the Runnymede Healthcare Centre in Canada, wherein the latter will deploy the HP Converged Infrastructure. The solution is expected to facilitate patient care and reduce IT administration time and costs. Runnymade Healthcare was earlier suffering from considerable network downtime with an outdated data infrastructure. This affected the patient care service of the client and resulted in delays when the hospital staff accessed applications supporting patient care information and led to deterioration of services. HP has critically addressed the problem by implementing HP LeftHand Storage and HP ProLiant Servers at its new facility. The Patient care segment is expected to grow across the globe ]]></description>

In the after market trade, the company’s share price dipped 1.21% due to lackluster revenues and weak sequential outlook. Revenues Revenues declined 7.0% year over year to $30.0 billion. The year-over-year decline in revenue can be attributed to the hard disk drive shortages that impacted both Personal Systems Group and Enterprise Servers Storage &#38; Networking. Moreover, owing to the flooding in Thailand last year, supply of hard disk drives across the industry declined 30% in the last quarter of the calendar year. As a result of this shortage, the company decided to prioritize profitability, product performance and quality over shipment volume and market share. This primarily led to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) is all set to report its fourth quarter and full year 2011 results on January 19, 2012, after the market closes. We expect IBM to report modest results due to sluggish IT spending partially offset by robust growth from its key growth initiatives. We note that IBM has posted an average earnings surprise of 1.86% in the trailing four quarters, implying that it has outdone the Zacks Consensus Estimate by the same magnitude for the last four quarters. We do not expect any major changes in the earnings trend pattern for the current quarter. Prior Quarter Recap IBM reported mixed third quarter 2011 results with earnings per share (EPS) surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6 cents (2.0%) but revenues falling shy of the estimate ]]></description>

(IBM) in 2012.The company looks set to drive significant growth in this fast-growing sector, according to CEO Virginia Rometty. The strong growth of analytics can be attributed to the increasing complexity enterprises are facing in the decision making process. According to market research firm Gartner, analytics is expected to be one of the topmost strategic technologies for 2012. The research firm believes that the scope of analytics will expand manifold over the next few years, and will be a must for enterprises.

		<description><![CDATA[It is said that opportunities are never lost &#8212; someone else will catch the one you miss. And the saying remains true to the equity market. No one wants to miss a good opportunity to make exceptional profits from stock markets. So, is this the time to take the plunge? Or should we wait for the markets to fall further? Well, considering the increasing concerns related to the European economy, it&#8217;s hard to predict the direction of market movement. However, given the significant exposure of U.S. banks to weak European countries, it would be difficult for the country to escape unscathed. So, with the debt crisis picture in the Eurozone getting dirtier, the risk of another major worldwide stock market slump is sky high. Coupled with our own unrelenting problems ]]></description>

Its stock was trading around $11.50 on Friday – 47 percent above its low in late August, but 43 percent less than its 52-week high. Reuters reported that TPG Capital paid “about 11 times EBITDA” in buying CoreLogic-competitor MDA DataQuick last year. That means someone could pay up to $18 per share for CoreLogic ]]></description>

According to the agreement, Hewlett-Packard will design, build and maintain a portion of the information, communication and technology (ICT) systems of the digital hospital. The new hospital will follow a public-private collaboration approach, with all modern amenities. It will be equipped with version 2.0 of the “HP Digital Hospital Solution”, as its technology foundation. This solution from H-P offers a cohesive set of technologies and services that replaces single-function systems, thereby aligning technology with operational and patient priorities. Under this service agreement, H-P will design a collaboration between Royal Adelaide’s in-building systems with the South Australia Government’s enterprise level patient admission to facilitate real-time information accessibility. ]]></description>

In order to focus more on the high-growth and high-margin business, the CEO now wants to spin off or sell H-P’s lower-margin PC business, wash its hands of the webOS business (still looking for a take-off) and buy out business software maker Autonomy Corp. The focus shift would help H-P evolve as a software and services company, without any reliance on the hardware businesses.

It’s also successfully navigated from being a technology hardware company to a software and consulting services company. But IBM’s most startling transformation is how it became a global enterprise in terms of people, organization and revenue. IBM still employs 105,000 workers in America, and this number is growing. But it also has more than 300,000 foreign nationals on the payroll.  Big Blue has spread decision-making authority across the globe:  Global procurement is based in China while data processing and accounting is in India, Brazil and the Philippines.

A petabyte is a unit of information which is equal to one quadrillion bytes or 1024 terabytes. Organizations such as banks, insurance companies, healthcare organizations and communications service providers are required by industry regulators to store huge amounts of data for specific time periods that can even extend up to a decade. In such a scenario, the new IBM application is perhaps the solution for the organizations dealing with such huge amounts of data. The new application can also be used by organizations to analyze “big data” or substantial amount of data to track various types of information, like new trends ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Better known as an acquirer, Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) recently broke the trend by divesting its Halo video conferencing business to the unified collaboration solutions provider Polycom Inc. (PLCM). The deal was settled at approximately $89.0 million in cash. The Halo visual collaboration technology was developed by HP and DreamWorks Animation in 2005. Halo is different from other available video conferencing technologies in that it sets up identical rooms at multiple locations and then links them with high-definition screens and advanced audio systems, facilitating organizations with easy access to face-to-face meetings or telepresence. But the rooms are steeply priced and can be used only by Halo users for conferencing. Analysts believe that due to these drawbacks, HP is losing its business to other competitive video chatting tool providers such as Cisco ]]></description>
