The integration challenge

Today’s professionals are looking for more than a collection of disparate software and firmware pieces to drive their computing experience. They are looking for tightly integrated solutions that will provide them with the ease of use they demand along with the features they need. HP is committed to delivering this type of experience in our HP Business Desktop and Notebook PCs.

Developing highly integrated solutions requires expertise and a clear vision for providing real-world value and enhancing the overall user experience. With the amount of data that most information workers are receiving each day, it’s unacceptable to require users to take additional unnecessary steps in order to use their PCs in a secure and connected manner.

HP BIOS was designed to work seamlessly with HP Professional Innovations like HP ProtectTools1 Security Manager, HP Power Assistant,2 Device Access Manager and other HP software.

HP has been developing its BIOS for three decades. The HP BIOS team works closely with key partners such as AMD, Intel®, LANDesk, Microsoft® and Novell along other internal HP software teams. These partnerships have allowed HP to manage the support of new technologies, provide tight integration with software components and effectively respond to customer needs.

USE CASE 1: Manageability

Bill is an IT manager at a company with approximately 500 employees. To keep maintenance costs in check, the company implemented policies that keep software and firmware configurations consistent across the company. Managing BIOS settings remotely had previously been a challenge. Each system had unique ways to manage these settings, which required a lot of extra work for the IT staff. However, with the HP Client Management Interface and LANDesk Management Suite, Bill was able to take advantage of a consistent interface across the HP desktops, notebooks, workstations, retail platforms and signage players in his environment. With a few clicks, he is able to configure all BIOS components on all machines such as setting the machine boot order, changing the availability of USB ports, setting the asset tag or even changing the BIOS password remotely.
