Alcatel-Lucent has entered into a 10-year marketing agreement with Hewlett-Packard (HP) for telecom and IT products and services. Under the agreement, the companies will jointly market communication solutions among mid-size and large enterprises and public sector units through a one-stop-shop business model.

Alcatel-Lucent’s products in areas such as IP telephony, unified communications, mobility, security and contact centres will be integrated with HP’s IT solutions. The joint solutions will be offered to enterprises through HP resellers or as managed services. The companies will also launch a global go-to-market programme to transform communication networks into converged, next-generation infrastructures.
