RETAIL PRO GETS HP DEAL
Retail Pro International has signed a deal with Hewlett-Packard under which the two companies will provide a hardware-software bundle to retailers. The companies said the package would serve retailers from small, local operations to large multi-national chains and that it provides tools to manage point of sale, store operations and back-office needs.
A Retail Pro spokesperson says her company hopes more deals like this would be signed with H-P. The release also said that the software runs on specially designed H-P hardware. In a follow-up discussion, the spokesperson says the hardware company’s decision to sell off its PC business would have no impact on this deal.
