HP leverages Big Data to manage business apps
The Big Data releases are designed to help organisations deliver mobile applications that "delight" customers and score 5-star ratings.
According to a company statement, the innovations harness HP's assets in big data analytics, application lifecycle management, IT operations management and security to enable organisations to accelerate the delivery of every phase of the mobile app lifecycle, from creation and pre-production, to delivery and post-production management.
SpeechTrans chief operations officer, Yan Auerbach, said HP allowed his company to take big data and make it actionable.
"So we can deliver exceptional user experiences on our mobile speech translator app," he said.
"Previously, it took us up to three weeks to fix an app issue and now we can address any problem in less than 2 days.
"Leveraging HP software has enabled us to achieve consistent 5-star ratings in mobile app stores -- a key driver of new customers and revenue." The new innovations are designed to address challenges of managing a company's apps by combining its assets in application development testing, monitoring and systems management with HP Haven analytics, HP security software, and SaaS-based interfaces.
