HP Information Management Software

HP Information Management Software is software from the HP Software Division, used to organize, protect, retrieve, acquire, manage and maintain information. The HP Software Division also offers information analytics software. The amount of data that companies have to deal with has grown tremendously over the past decade, making the management of this information more difficult. The University of California at Berkeley claims the amount of information produced globally increases by 30 percent annually. An April 2010 Information Management article cited a survey in which nearly 90 percent of businesses blame poor performance on data growth. The survey concluded that for many businesses their applications and databases are growing by 50 percent or more annually, making it difficult to manage the rapid expansion of information. Because of this Information explosion, IT companies have created technology solutions to help businesses manage this ever-expanding data.

The HP Software Division offers many information management and analytics software products through its HP Autonomy business, resulting from the acquisition of Autonomy Corporation in 2011. Autonomy provided capabilities for managing unstructured data.

The acquisition of Vertica in 2011 added information analytics for managing structured data.

In June 2013, HP announced the HAVEn analytics platform for managing big data—consisting of both structured and unstructured data.

In April 2011, HP Software Division announced a refresh and upgrade of its HP Information Management Software portfolio, including enhancements to HP TRIM Records Management System, HP Data Protector, Integrated Archive Platform, Database Archiving, HP Storage Essentials, and a number of IT consulting and professional services designed to help customers integrate and deploy information management solutions across the lifecycle, including capture, monitor, protect, retain, and find. The portfolio included a methodology and the technology and services for companies and government organizations to create a holistic approach to information management.[6]

Through the acquisition of Autonomy Corporation, the HP information management and analytics software portfolio now includes data protection, eDiscovery, information analytics, unified information access, information archiving, enterprise content management and marketing optimization. In 2013, HP announced cloud services support and support for marketing and call center applications.
