Hewlett-Packard Co says it is furthering its push into the service management arena and will be announcing some next- generation offerings at its OpenView Forum ’98 this week in Seattle. HP also promises a series of partner announcements and what it describes as a significant customer win, although it remained tight-lipped on names. The company is trying to build on the momentum generated from the OpenView Universe event in March, where it introduced a slew of new OpenView products and services (CI No 3,360) and where chief Lew Platt was broadcasting the message that HP is serious about software, and systems management in particular.
