A resource for independent HP NonStop systems experts.
|
The Independent NonStop Consultants program is designed to identify, support, and promote independent consultants who have extensive knowledge of HP NonStop technology and solutions. The program offers centralized Web-based services to help connect consultants and customers and is part of an ongoing effort to increase the availability of NonStop system specialists worldwide. Independent NonStop Consultants help customers with technical projects of limited scope and duration. The consultants do not usually support a large infrastructure, but typically work on NonStop systems at customer sites― which means they are able to move quickly on high-priority projects while maintaining low overhead. NonStop consultants, whose backgrounds range from independent NonStop system specialists to former employees to resellers and value-added resellers, offer expertise combined with practical experience.
