Notes from HP Software Universe 2009, Las Vegas: Day 2, Buzz around testing automation
By Shashank Shekhar Shukla
Day 2 at the event comprised of the HP SW Universe Mainstage and the Solution showcase opening. Infosys team participated in the Mainstage event and shared their inputs on partnership with HP. Post the mainstage the Infosys team held meetings with key HP executives.
We demonstrated our solution suite in the solution showcase. The solutions being highlighted were the Siebel BPT Solution, ACCORD & ClearWare solution. The BPT solution was also made available at the HP SW Universe literature download as it was a winning solution and there were a lot of requests around further information and for demos. In the evening there was also a reception dinner with the HP alliance team along with other partners.
In the solution showcase open from 6pm to 9 pm there were many visitors to our booth who were keen to get a higher ROI from their testing investments.
