This new program sits across all business groups and was launched last month by CEO Meg Whitman in the US. It has been simplified and there are no gates to earning commission; it happens from dollar one. |
Since you and I last met, we said we would take cost out of our operation and place a large chunk into innovation. You have seen all the product launches, but in my view there have been five or six key products that have opened up new markets for the channel, particularly in the space of mobility. |
For example the ElitePad 900, the Envy X2 hybrid device; we have also announced our re-entry into the consumer mobility play. On the printing side there is the OfficeJet Pro X and the OfficeJet Mobile 150 all-in-one mobile printer. |
NB: From your perspective, how is the A/NZ personal systems and print market faring? |
RM: The overall market is tough in Australia and IDC indicates this. The biggest trend in the PC department has been mobility. The traditional PC has been slow to decline; it is about 15 per cent down year-on-year (YoY) from the top of mind. Tablets, on the other hand, have been booming. If you add traditional PCs with... |
Printing is, by and large, chugging okay. It’s flat. It’s a mature category and has been for a long time. |
What keeps us honest is how we are tracking versus the market. From a market share point of view, in the South Pacific we have gained market share in PC in three consecutive quarters. In the latest results we have got 24.8 per cent share and we were approximately 20.8 per cent three quarters ago. For printing, there ha... |
NB: HP has a lot of competitors in the evolving mobility market. What is your current differentiator? |
RM: We acknowledge the way products are consumed has changed and we design our products through that perspective. What HP is doing is creating an end-to-end ecosystem; making sure we have the platforms and formats across the spectrum, from an all-in-one desktop to a seven-inch tablet. We didn’t have that 12 months ago ... |
One of the big questions is what hybrid will do to mobility. I think the industry is still finding its feet when it comes to form factors and marrying that up to different customers. |
The other piece is what I call health and hygiene in foundation, and ensuring HP is in tune with what partners need in order to make business interactions simple. |
NB: What is Meg Whitman’s vision for next six to 12 months? |
RM: Meg has clearly laid out a charter for the next five years which spells out where we are today and where we want to get to. That’s a global strategy and means different things across the geographies. What is clear is we are continuing down the path of simplifying our organisation internally and bringing us together... |
NB: When do you anticipate to have simplified to an adequate extent? |
RM: It’s a long and evolutionary journey. What we did first was on the front end; people, programs, structures. At the back end, it’s about supply chain, systems, tools, and processes. That will be a multi-year journey. There is no definitive start and end. It’s continual. In terms of A/NZ channel operations, we are a ... |
NB: Are you satisfied with your channel ecosystem? |
RM: I define coverage in a couple of ways. First is quantity. Do we have the reach and scale we need? Yes. Do we have the quality? that comes down to constant reevaluation. As we have to change, so do our partners. Their business models are continually evolving. We continue to watch that to ensure we have the quantity ... |
Lil Jon opened a second elementary school in the West African country of Ghana. |
AOL reports the multi-hyphenate opened his second school in the town of Mafi Atitekpo. The new school, named Mafi Atitekpo DA Primary School, got things started in December 2017 and was formally introduced in July 2018, as indicated by Pencils of Promise (PoP), the non-profit association working with the “Snap Yo Finge... |
The main school the “Get Low” rapper created, Abomayaw D.A. Kindergarten, was built in honor of his late mother, Carrie M. Smith. |
“Last year [October of 2017], I went with my family to open up my first Pencils of Promise school in Ghana, and now to have over 300 kids already enrolled in my second school there is incredible! It’s been really fulfilling to see the impact these schools have made on so many of these children’s and families’ futures,”... |
Lil Jon addressed CNN in January about his underlying excursion to Ghana and why he felt compelled to assist PoP with his $70,000 commitment. |
CORONATION Street's Imran Habeeb is facing a headache thanks to his ex wife. |
Coronation Street’s cobbles are set to stage the ultimate scorned lover scenario as Imran Habeeb’s ex wife arrives seeking revenge. |
The lawyer’s former lover makes a surprise entry on the ITV soap as the character’s background is placed under the spotlight. |
Imran, played by Charlie de Melo, is also facing stresses at home after his dad, Hassan Habeeb, suffers a stroke. |
The 60 year old remains in a life-threatening condition in hospital with the solicitor fighting to allow sister Rana, who is banned from the hospital, to be granted access to the ward. |
Yet his former partner’s unexpected visit to Weatherfield marks another headache as Imran tells Yasmeen she is after every penny she can get. |
It remains to be seen whether Imran’s wife will be a permanent addition to the ITV cast and whether she will bleed him dry. |
Meanwhile, Imran is spending the majority of his time in Weatherfield General as his 60 year old father battles the life-threatening illness. |
He becomes infuriated as Saira bans his sister Rana, who works as a nurse, from visiting her dad. |
Imran warns Saira that, if Hassan passes away, she will have been responsible for stopping Rana sharing her final moments with her parent. |
COLDWATER — Woodrow Wilson was president, the Ford Model T had been out for just over a decade and Betty Kennedy (Whitehurst) was born at her home in Illinois. |
On Jan. 12, Kennedy celebrated her 100th birthday at Maple Lawn Medical Care Facility. |
In her 100 years of life, Kennedy has seen monumental changes in transportation, technology and more. |
Three weeks after she was born, the doctor that helped deliver her passed away from the flu. Growing up, her mom always said she would be immune to the flu since she survived it her first year of life. She was one of five children. |
Betty married Vern Kennedy and together they had three children Elizabeth, Allen and Thurman. Vern was an over the road trucker and passed away in the 1970s. Today Betty has nine grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. |
Her family moved around to various states including Ohio, California, and Oklahoma. |
In retirement, she moved to Marble Lake and enjoyed cross-stitch and flowers, noting she always wanted to learn knitting but never did. |
A Moriori trust has told the Environment Protection Authority it opposes a bid to mine phosphate from the seabed, believing it could jeopardise 60 percent of the country's commercial fishery. |
The authority's decision-making committee is conducting a hearing on Chatham Rock Phosphate's application to look for phosphate used to make chemicals and agricultural fertilizers. |
Maui Solomon, general manager of the Hokotehi Moriori Trust, made a submission yesterday. |
Mr Solomon said the trust opposed the company's application because of its concern about the marine environment, including the value of fisheries resources to Moriori and New Zealand. |
The Chatham Rise is a special place of ecological richness for Rekohu, New Zealand and the Pacific, he said, contributing at least 60 percent of New Zealand's commercial fisheries. |
About 30 percent of the hoki catch comes from the Chatham Rise, which is valued at $730 million, he said. |
The hearings are expected to continue until 19 November. |
Whale Watch Kaikoura says mining in the Chatham Rise should not be approved until its effect on whales is known. Chatham Rock Phosphate wants to mine 1.5m tonnes a year. |
Mineral exploration company Chatham Rock Phosphate's bid for marine consent to extract rock phosphate from the Chatham Rise seabed has began in Wellington. |
The EPA's initial view on Chatham Rock Phosphate's application for a marine consent to mine is negative, but the company's boss Chris Castle is confident the work can be done in a sustainable way. |

@Hiro, Are you alert too, mate! |
What a narrow-minded approach to crimes carried out around the world. |
Japan is a beautiful place too, but that did not stop a few maniacs from killing people with poisonous gas - did it? It did not prepare the law (government and police in your case) to counter the action - did it? |
New Zealand is a beautiful country, and they deal with criminals in their own way/s. Now they will change a few laws to "mitigate" disgusting actions like these. It will not stop narrow-minded and brain-washed criminals from hurting other humans. |
How about a few thoughts for the affected? |
Christchurch did/does not need this calamity added to the natural disasters that happened just recently. |
Commiserations to Christchurch, and her people in mourning. |
my apologies to Big Yen (my error for referring to you as Big Ben) - ne? |
"Michael, have a look at what Lindsay says about Australia. It's been at least forty years here since I or anyone I know last got paid in cash, and no-one has ripped us off via covert inflation or salary reduction. And what's more, there's still plenty of cash notes available if that's what you prefer. |
Really, there's nothing to be afraid of." |
There is plenty to be afraid of. |
Four major banks - National Australia Bank, Westpac, ANZ, Commonwealth ...... LOVE Accounts holders - You put your money in the bank, they charge you; you draw them out (so you can go to the "cash-only" shops), they charge you; Children savings bank accounts that have gone to zero balance, they charge them - even if th... |
Too frustrating to mention about unethical lending practices - including high interest rates on credit cards. |
There are some good points for salaries/wages be deposited in your account. |
But somehow to me, in Australia - cash is still okay to have- even if this is the age of advanced technology. |
Below are just some of the boring reads about Australian banks ripping off customers - just because of cashless "ideas" - and just because they can. |
It's sad how some of us damn capital punishment. Yet ......... I hope we think of all victims whose lives are changed forever or have been taken by criminals on death-row - regardless of guilty or not guilty opinions. The victims and their family's opinions matter the most to me. |
For me, I'm damned if capital is carried out, and I'm damned if it's not - "two wrongs, in my opinion, do not make it right" |
Afterthought: May the criminal's souls rest, and may the victims and their families have some peace after all this. |
Families should be able to live comfortably off one income alone. Stay at home dad or stay at home mom...doesn't matter. |
Unless you are a single parent (whose partner has passed away or via other sad occurrences) and has no choice but to work to care for your family so that your can "live comfortably off one income". Close-minded opinion on earning circumstances against stay-at-home-and-care-for-your-children circumstances, instead. Tsk! |
Governments can put regulations in place, and monitor - but human greed will not hire more staff, disregarding the most important element in the industry - Taking care of young human lives while the paying parents are earning to support their families. |
I totally get it where you're coming from. Importing goods/produce can create competition, but the quality of those goods will not be as high as the locally grown or manufactured and......... they will never stop coming in to the country. |
The current food industry (and most commodities actually) in Australia is of "imported" nature - to the point that it is rare to see produce and consumables (especially in big cities) made or grown in Oz from 100% Oz grown/made ingredients - Grocery shopping takes longer for us, all due to reading labels as to separati... |
When there is a demand and the supply is low, of course the prices will rise. If importing "more" foods in to Japan now can alleviate the pain of paying high prices for a short period of time, then, as a consumer of mostly imported goods, I say there are/will be consequences that will require mitigating. |
May your soul rest in peace. Here's sending thoughts of comfort to the loved ones. Stay safe everyone! |
Tattooing in my culture is a gift and privilege. This also must be earned -- not an association with slavery and low class. The New Zealand natives and her Oceania Protectorates and neighbouring countries of islands do not view tattooing as body art only, but more of as Cultural Identity. In my tribes, family members w... |
