Leading companies know that application quality, performance, SOA, and security directly affect the bottom line. Yet these same companies often make little effort to share lessons learned, processes created, and skills developed on individual application projects. The result is that individual teams frequently waste time, money, and talent by reinventing the wheel each time they start a new project.

HP's approach to application lifecycle management and the Center of Excellence model for quality, performance, SOA, and security eliminates this inefficient repetition. And it improves business results by helping leading organizations intergrate knowledge, processes, and resources.
