HP and RIM are teaming up to design and launch products and services to increase the productivity levels of the growing number of global mobile employees, which ends up enabling businesses to extend the return on their investments in mobility rather than the traditional office.

“As businesses look for new ways to increase service levels, reduce operational costs and improve productivity, they can meet these challenges by transforming how they manage the infrastructure that powers their mobile workforces,” said Ann Livermore, executive vice president, Technology Solutions Group, HP. “Emerging models of communications and collaboration have created an opportunity for RIM and HP to provide service-based mobile solutions that deliver value to customers.”

At this year’s WES ’09 event in  Orlando, Florida, HP will be demonstrating two new amazing solutions.  One of which is called HP CloudPrint for BlackBerry® smartphones and the other one HP Operations Manager for BlackBerry Enterprise Server.  The HP CloudPrint will of course be for remote printing to HP printers while the other HP Operations Manager holds a lot more interesting specs.

HP Operations Manager Key features

• Consolidates heterogeneous management consoles for physical and virtual infrastructure into a single console, reducing license, maintenance, support, and training costs
• Reduces labor costs by eliminating duplicate efforts of multiple domain experts working independently on symptoms of the same problem rather than the underlying root cause
• Speeds time-to-resolution by showing dependencies among transactions, business services, applications, application components, servers, storage and network components
• Provides measurement-based service level reporting from the business perspective and prioritize IT escalations based on business impact

Expect to see more on the HP and BlackBerry expedenture as we get closer into WES this year.  It’s going to be full of surprise, and I strongly believe HP will be among one of those surprises with their incredible strategies and services offered for the BlackBerry smartphone.
