Deep in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley you’ll find the Stanford Research Park; a sprawling campus that bills itself as “a community of and for people who seek to invent the future”. It’s here you’ll find HP’s headquarters, and Loretta Li-Sevilla, the company’s head of future of work, collaboration, and business incubation.

For more than seven years, Li-Sevilla and her team have been exploring what the future of work will look like and, using these insights, building the products that will power the working world yet to come.

Among these is the HP Presence portfolio, the company’s set of conferencing and collaboration solutions. Billed as “a more human collaboration solution”, HP Presence is an end-to-end collaboration solution that encompasses HP Presence Meeting Space solutions and technology enhanced by HP Presence – including laptops and artificial intelligence-assisted cameras. The aim? To make you feel like you’re “in the room from any room”.

But how was it developed? We caught up with Li-Sevilla to find out more …

“In HP, we have a focus on what we call ‘insights to innovation’,” she says. “We study people and observe how they work, where they work, and then understand the pain points that they go through … so when we think about the process, we really start from the people.”

For Presence, “the people” included anyone and everyone who might interact with the technology: from the people in the meeting room to their colleagues working remotely – whether at home or on the move – and then the IT and facilities teams whose job it is to keep the workplace running smoothly.

The research process was rigorous, with the team focusing on identifying and eradicating users’ “pain points” to create a system that was as seamless and stress-free as possible. “We looked at that entire journey to make sure that we had a good experience throughout,” Li-Sevilla says. “We wanted our designers to really understand the challenges, so we had them sit down with our HP IT and real estate teams – and we brought in customers as well.”

Real-world insights were key and Li-Sevilla says that some of her own experiences of video conferencing fed into the innovations. “I remember I would go into a meeting room with my PC and I used to carry dongles with all types of connections because I didn’t know what type of cable I’d need,” she says. “Another time, I actually flew out to Houston for a meeting because I didn’t want to feel left out because I was the one presenting. I didn’t want to be presenting to the executive team and not be able to see their expressions or not feel equal, as if in the room. And that’s what we were trying to bridge, that experience, so that I wouldn’t have to travel.”

The result is a remarkably intuitive system with thoughtful touches such as colour-coded cables and one-touch join, which means you don’t need to be an IT whizz to use it. “All of our components talk together. So when someone walks into a room, we have a proximity sensor in the centre of the room on the control panel; once it detects someone, it lights up and sends a signal to the camera to wake up,” Li-Sevilla says.

The major priority for Presence was ensuring that everyone could access a consistent, high-quality audio-visual experience – no matter where they are. “This is really foundational,” Li-Sevilla says. The result is standout features such as noise cancellation, room audio calibration with Bang & Olufsen technology, speaker tracking, and auto framing. “We have a lot of AI capabilities in Presence,” Li-Sevilla says. “For speaker tracking, our audio AI tracks who the active speaker is, and then our video AI actually moves with the speaker.”

However, what really sets Presence apart is the holistic nature of the design. “We were fortunate that we were able to look at it as an entire experiencing system, so we designed it all together,” Li-Sevilla says. “We didn’t just think about the room experience. We have the enhanced by HP Presence technology built into our premium PCs and displays, so you’ll have the same experience whether you’re in the meeting room or if you’re remote. No one else in the industry has an end-to-end collaboration story.”

While for many of us the move to hybrid working is both new and a direct result of the pandemic, for Li-Sevilla and her Silicon Valley colleagues it’s been a focus for the best part of a decade. “The pandemic just really accelerated what we saw in future work … at least five-plus years of acceleration,” she says. “We saw that this opportunity was coming in, and introduced HP Elite Slice [a PC-based conferencing tool] in 2018. And at the same time Microsoft and Zoom saw it as well, and we partnered with them to have Elite Slice for Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms.”

As for what’s next, Li-Sevilla is not only excited, but already leading the charge to get HP’s head office future ready. “I’m in the middle of the Palo Alto renovation right now,” she says. “All the offices are being redesigned to focus on building a sense of community and for collaboration.”

And this is what HP Presence is all about; enabling quality communication that’s fair and accessible. “Our goal is really to drive that engagement and connectedness across this future hybrid world,” Li-Sevilla says. “We want everybody to be a first-class citizen, no matter where they work.”

There’s no question that sustainability is an increasingly urgent priority for corporations, as regulators, boards, investors and consumers demand more sustainable ways of doing business. But companies are not in sole control of whether they achieve their sustainability goals.

Suppliers directly impact their customers’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals—in ways that many procurement specialists, IT decision makers and even some C-suite leaders may still be overlooking. IT vendors who can bridge this gap have an opportunity to deepen their relationships with customers and turn a tailored tech solution into something much bigger and better, but time is of the essence. In a latest McKinsey report about how businesses can play offense in the global transition to net-zero, the report’s authors say that in the B2B space, companies that act early will have a long-term advantage. Why? Because “customer relationships are difficult to undo.”

So, what does that mean for IT partners and salespeople? Bringing sustainability into the core of B2B relationship building requires some education and new forms of exploration, but the benefits we enable by doing so are essential to our planet and full of opportunity.

Help customers understand the impact of IT on their sustainability efforts

Sustainability is an extraordinarily broad topic. No one person can master every aspect of it. Likewise, while organizations feel urgency to address it in their operations, there is no template for setting sustainability goals, much less reaching them. And in some cases, sustainability efforts may not be aligned throughout an organization. A member of the C-suite may be more likely to prioritize sustainability than someone working in tech procurement, a function that historically has focused on cost and other factors above all.

For IT vendors, this fragmented landscape requires a focus on education and deep collaboration. If sustainability isn’t on your customer contact’s radar, you need to put it there. Even if your contacts are already focused on pursuing sustainability goals, it’s critical to let them know the specific ways you can help them reduce their carbon emissions, reduce wasteful packaging, contribute to a more circular economy and more—and how you can architect an IT solution that can evolve as regulations and expectations do.

When we look at the rapid growth of IT services worldwide—a market expected to reach $1.3 trillion this year—the conversation cannot just be about companies becoming more agile and scalabile in deploying technology. Services are a critical part of sustainability transformation. In fact, HP’s service offerings have been shown to reduce GHG emissions, Excellerate resource efficiency, decrease ecosystem impact and more.

Sustainability as a service

As technology continues to advance and customer expectations for customized solutions rise, IT vendors must increasingly provide solutions rather than products. This shift requires deeper relationships and closer communication so that vendors fully understand a customer’s needs today, and can help anticipate them in the future.

Sustainability is a business challenge for every customer. By definition, IT partners help businesses address mission-critical needs. An IT partner that can merge the necessity of enabling a workforce’s technology connections while also moving the needle on big-picture sustainability commitments demonstrates their potential to help an organization Excellerate over the long term. That said, there is no question that this requires investment from partners and salespeople. Customers will seek guidance not only on the specs of a device but on the nuance of everything from ecolabels to emissions—particularly as environmental standards and industry best practices continue to evolve rapidly.

The ripple effects of sustainability

Ultimately, being aligned with customers on sustainability opens up a whole new conversation by expanding the impact IT vendors can produce.

For example, while we know workers have always appreciated an employer who offers cuttingedge technology, sustainability is impacting employee satisfaction in increasingly meaningful ways. In this dynamic labor market where workers are quitting in record numbers, sustainability is top of mind for many job seekers: A latest study revealed that a quarter of respondents would refuse a job offer based on a company’s lack of support for climate action. And 70% said they would be likely to quit a job at a company that fails to implement sustainable business practices.

The benefits of these partnerships also accrue for the IT industry as well. As we weave sustainability into the essence of more of our solutions, our impact expands exponentially and the more value we can offer customers—and society— in perpetuity.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — For the past three decades, South Carolina lawmakers have chipped away at abortion access, requiring ultrasounds, parental consent and 24-hour waiting periods, and banning the procedure early in the pregnancy: first after 20 weeks, then after six.

But now that the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared a path to ban abortion entirely in the state, some are taking a step back. Politicians, mostly Republican, are noting what happened this month in Kansas, where nearly 60% of voters rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed the state's conservative Legislature to ban abortion. Republican Donald Trump received 56% of the 2020 presidential vote in Kansas. Trump won 55% in South Carolina.

HP Anyware will be available somewhere in the coming months. The solution’s based on technology from Teradici, which HP acquired last year. HP Anyware should eventually replace HP’s existing zCentral Remote Boost solution.

Teradici is a cornerstone of the upcoming solution. The company provides virtual desktop environments using Cloud Access Software (CAS), allowing companies to remotely host PCs in their on-premises environment and the cloud.

Teradici uses its own PC-over-IP (PCoIP) protocol. The protocol streams the contents of a display. The data travelling over a network is unlike the data exchanged by traditional remote desktop tech, which promotes security.

HP Anyware is the next release of Teradici’s CAS solution. New functionality includes support for Arm-based M1 processors and Macs. In addition, HP and Teradici optimized the tool for Windows 11.

HP told The Register that HP Anyware will replace zCentral Remote Boost, HP’s existing solution for remote work. HP Anyware will have equivalent functionality by mid-2023, after which zCentral Remote is to be discontinued. Though the solution will receive security fixes for some time, users eventually have to migrate to Anyware.

The effect of COVID-19 on global education has compelled technology solution providers to develop products that will equip learners with the right tools to succeed tomorrow, writers Emma Okonji

When the pandemic rocked African economies and society at large, the biggest challenge was finding ways to adjust. Schools across the continent had to close, and as a result, they had to quickly take steps to educate pupils using distance-learning techniques. While those that were equipped to adjust have started online or hybrid-learning modules, others, particularly those in rural areas, face massive challenges such as lack of access to digital tools.

Efforts are being made to provide young people access to better learning equipment, as many learners on the continent currently rely on cell phones or smart phones to continue learning during this digital age. It is however crucial for learners and parents to be aware of the available and affordable options to help learners prepare for the classroom of the future.

Equipping Learners

Commenting, HP Nigeria’s Country Head, Emmanuel Asika stated that the technology manufacturing company has recognised the need to equip learners, who are tomorrow’s leaders; with the tools they require in the new normal.

“Buying a laptop for your child today will not only help them succeed at school, but itwill also empower them by preparing them for future challenges and helping them to acquire critical skills necessary to thrive in the digital era, ”Asika said.

According to a report by UNESCO 73 per cent of African countries used some online strategies by September 2020. However, access to devices and connectivity wasn’t widespread, and even in places where technology was available, learners often felt unprepared to participate in classes digitally. The 4th industrial revolution – sped up by the pandemic – means that digital skills are no longer a luxury, or a nice-to-have. They are essential, not only for immediate access to basic rights such as education, but to future-proof a generation of young people who will live in a world with jobs not yet imagined. Whilst efforts continue to ensure the digital divide is minimised, the ability for learners to operate in a digital world is paramount.

HP recently announced new additions to its Personal Systems portfolio called the HP Learning Companions, the HP 14 notebook & HP 15 notebook, powered by the 10th and 11th Generation Intel Core i3 processors offer many benefits in a learning environment, including:

Shape-up ideas faster – fast processing speeds powered by a 10th or 11th Generation Intel Core™ i3 processor toenable your child to bring their ideas to life through quick research, collaboration and execution. They can multitask, toggle between multiple windows and handle demanding applications with utmost ease.

Experience lifelike remote learning – Remote learning is the new normal. It provides learning continuity and expands learning opportunities. Your child can experience lifelike remote learning with a TrueVision HD Camera. It’s improved low-light video performance captures high-quality footage even in dim light that makes remote interactions more engaging. By integrating a digital microphone into the camera, they will be able to get their point across clearly.

Study without interruption – A long battery life is critical so your child can keep working, even during power cuts. It also helps them to move freely and study from wherever they want to, reducing the need to carry the charger, or always have a charging point nearby. Fast charge technology is a must these days, so look for a battery that can recharge 50% of its battery in just 45 minutes, allowing your child to study and create all day.
Learn from anywhere – On or off campus, a thin, light notebook makes for easier studying on the go. The right laptop should enable seamless viewing on a micro-edge display with an ultra-narrow bezel, giving your child enough screen on a portable 14″ notebook to see clearly and complete tasks easily.

Every student is different, so the best student laptop for one user might not meet the educational expectations of the next. That’s why it’s so important to appreciate the pros and cons of one model in comparison to another. And that’s why we have taken the time to compare two of the most top-rated student laptops on the market today.

Luckily, most students are once more studying in college and university rather than at home, but the need for a good student laptop remains just as high. Indeed, with so much on-the-go work needed, having a system that can go the distance is more important than ever.
