UK and Irish iQuote Users pilot HP Care Pack Warranty Auto-Attach. If a quote is started from the browse menu or from Quick Launch (where you know the system part number) iQuote will add the Number 1 HP ranked (and therefore supported) Care Pack Warranty to the basket automatically. If you want to change this for another Care Pack Warranty no problem it’s quick to de-select from the basket.

Multi-BU Support: it works for HP ProLiant, HP StorageWorks Commercial and HP Commercial Notebooks, Desktops and Workstations. ISS, SWDc and PSG in HP parlance.

Not only is this a major timesaver but it is also aimed to increase the pitch-rate for these services (the number of times they are quoted against a system unit). Higher pitch rates mean higher attach rates and that’s margin to HP and its channel. It will go live in the USA soon – same process but we have to call the basket a kart. There is potential for the rest of Europe also to have this great new function.
