Hewlett-Packard's CEO has indicated it plans to ramp up the revenues it brings in from the
software side of its business.
Meg Whitman has been quoted in a German newspaper outlining an ambition to grow the current $5bn it
gets from software sales by double or even triple that amount.
Although she did not give a timeframe in the interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung there were
indications that part of that revenue boost is expected to come from British software player
Autonomy which HP splashed out $12bn for.
One of the pressing questions that Whitman would not be drawn on was the future of the Web OS
platform which HP acquired as part of the Palm deal last year.
Although recent reports have hinted at a sale of the unit Whitman said that the decision that
needed to be made had to be a good one not necessarily a quick one.
