Get the best ROI possible from cloud deployment and use for your very small, small, or midsize business with insight, assistance, and powerful cloud technology solutions from HPE.

Ready or not, all businesses—from the largest to the smallest—must confront digital transformation, a large portion of which involves adoption of and migration into the cloud. Simple though it may sound in principle, achieving such objectives involves considerable challenges for businesses. Indeed, cash- and people-constrained smaller operations often struggle to identify, acquire, set up, and maintain the components and services involved in such efforts.

HPE offers its small to midsize business customers dynamic, powerful combinations for expert services, unmatched experience and a portfolio of products designed to be easy to acquire and use. In fact, HPE and its partners are well equipped to guide and assist such organizations through digital transformation. At the same time, they can help them meet ongoing IT support requirement, with offerings that are affordable and usable, even when budgets are tight and resources scarce.

HPE fosters growth and flexibility

Growth involves more than increasing scope, scale, and capability. Growth also brings change. That might mean replacing or upgrading existing systems to benefit from cost savings, improved productivity, and pay-as-you-go usage models. It also means adopt new, modern, leading-edge technology solutions for all the benefits they can bring.

That’s why HPE provides small to midsize businesses with a whole portfolio of offerings and services to support them. These include the following:

• A broad and comprehensive set of cloud services. Designed to be easy to deploy and use, they’re well defined in the blog post, “How Software Has Changed Our Definition of SMB,” and ebook, “The Gorilla Guide® To... Digital Transformation for Small and Midsize Businesses, Express Edition.” Above all, HPE seeks to deliver affordable, usable cloud-based services suitable for resource-constrained organizations to put to work.

• Finally, HPE knows small to midsize operations are often cash poor, and must work within their means.

These help such organizations better manage cash flow, fund technology updates or refreshes, and impose minimal impact and disruption on day-to-day business.
