Several areas are especially important to HP. One of those is quality of prod- ucts. Hewlett-Packard received a score 3 Datapoint 2 of 9.21 on a scale of 1 to 10. Another area is that of VAR support services, where HP moved up eight places to finish first. The category of "overall impression of vendor" is also a signifi- cant one for HP. We were ranked num- I 5 DEC 1 ber one, as we were last year. Hewlett-Packard is committed to providing a program that rates highly with value-added businesses. Accord- ing to Bill Murphy, marketing manager of the Business Systems Sector, HP's strategy has resulted in a significant portion of commercial computer sales made through these companies. "We have achieved a 25 percent growth rate for the past three years in this channel of distribution. And we intend to grow this channel by continuing to invest in our industry-leading value-added sales and marketing programs."
