Hewlett Packard Enterprise was a titanium sponsor of WPC16. At the HPE Expo Hall booth guests learned how HPE and Microsoft are collaborating to deliver transformation-based solutions to propel customers' and partners' businesses forward further and faster. Those who visited the HPE Guru Bar and attended the in-booth theater sessions heard from HPE Experts on many different topics including: how SMBs can accelerate revenue with HPE and Azure, how to optimize Microsoft cloud services for today's mobile enterprise users, how the HPE ProLiant Easy Connect EC200a is making IT easy, and how HPE is helping people exchange ideas with simple, flexible communications that enable a comprehensive and collaborative experience.
