history

In October 2014, HP boss Meg Whitman announced that she would split the company into two separate companies after several quarters of declining sales. The main reason is to separate the fast-growing corporate business with servers, storage and network solutions from the higher-margin, but weaker-growing business with PCs and printers. HP thus resumed the strategy that led to the separation of CEO Léo Apotheker in September 2011 and was revised by his successor Meg Whitman in February 2013 with the words "We have no plans to split HP" . Shareholders of the previous group, Hewlett-Packard Company, received shares in both companies, which were supposed to be tax-free. Nonetheless, many German banks collected a flat rate tax on the value of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares. The management of Hewlett Packard Enterprise took over the previous HP boss Meg Whitman, who will also take over the chairmanship of the board of directors of HP Inc. HP Inc. will be managed by Dion Weisler, the previous head of the Printing and Personal Systems Group in the HP Group, while the former Alcatel-Lucent boss Patricia Russo took over the chairmanship of the board of directors of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company. In the course of the split, around 55,000 jobs were cut, saving around 2.8 billion US dollars ; the cost of the split is estimated at 400 to 450 million US dollars; A further 1.8 billion US dollars are planned for renovation costs.

Organizationally, the split began on August 7, 2015; The demerger was completed on November 1, 2015. After the demerger was completed, the old Hewlett-Packard Company was renamed HP Inc. and the business with servers and network solutions for companies was transferred to the new Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company in the form of a spin-off . On November 2, 2015, the shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company were listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol HPE and simultaneously included in the S&P 500 . HP stock gained 13 percent that day, while Hewlett Packard Enterprise stock lost 1.6 percent. The new company website went online a few days earlier. Of the total of 302,000 employees at the previous Hewlett-Packard Company, 252,000 switched to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The business with PCs, laptops and printers for companies, however, will remain with HP Inc.

On November 24th, 2015 the last quarterly figures of the Hewlett-Packard Company were presented. The quarterly figures of the areas that are now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise were better than those of HP Inc.

At the end of November 2015, the Korean Internet company Naver Corporation announced that it would take legal action against Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The trigger is the green rectangle in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise logo, which is too similar to the rectangle surrounding the search field on the Naver.com search engine.

In May 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that it wanted to divest its enterprise services division with around 100,000 employees as part of its increased focus on hardware and cloud services. The division is to be spun off and merged with the Computer Sciences Corporation . With DXC Technology, one of the world's largest providers of IT services was created. Upon completion of the transaction, Hewlett Packard Enterprise shareholders will own 50% of the merged company.

As a further step, the full concentration on hardware and cloud technologies sold Hewlett Packard Enterprise non-core business of its software division (u. A. With software solutions for big data, enterprise security and information management) for 8.8 billion US dollars , of which 2, US $ 5 billion in cash to Micro Focus, a UK company . Following the closing of the transaction on September 1, 2017, HPE shareholders will hold 50.1% of Micro Focus shares.

In November 2017, founding boss Meg Whitman announced her resignation with effect from February 1, 2018. His successor was Antonio Neri, previously President of the company. Among other reasons, she cited a planned break and her lack of connection to technology.

After the spin-off of the Enterprise Services and Software divisions, Hewlett Packard Enterprise now has 52,000 employees and achieved sales of 28.9 billion US dollars in 2017.

In 2019, Hewlett Packard Enterprise took over the supercomputer manufacturer Cray .

Hewlett Packard Enterprise in German-speaking countries

The split in Germany already happened on August 1, 2015. Since then, in addition to the previous Hewlett-Packard GmbH as the German subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Deutschland GmbH has also existed as a subsidiary of HP Inc. Both are based in Böblingen . In August 2016, a large part of the employees of Hewlett-Packard GmbH was outsourced to Proservia GmbH ManpowerGroup, and in September 2016 another outsourcing to Datagroup followed .

As with HP, the Austrian branch is in Vienna and the Swiss in Dübendorf .

The Enterprise Services Business has been part of EntServ Deutschland GmbH, also based in Böblingen, since January 1, 2017. This company no longer belongs to Hewlett Packard Enterprise since April 1, 2017, but is part of the DXC Technology group .
