    "Having a service-only partner lends credibility
to HP Software's go-to-market strategy as these partners
aren't focused on selling software; their focus is ensuring
that our clients fully leverage the software and extract
maximum value from their investment," said Debra
Keeling, channel business manager for HP Software
Canada."  Decisions surrounding software
implementations have the potential to have far-ranging
effects on business.  Achievo is a qualified, experienced
services partner whose expertise and technical depth can
help HP and our collective clients streamline the entire
software acquisition and implementation process."

    Achievo has one of the largest practices in North
America focused on automating ITIL(1) best practice
processes with HP technologies.  This includes the
implementation, tailoring and integration for all areas of
HP software including Peregrine, Mercury and Openview. 
Achievo's ITIL trained and certified professionals are
experienced in the full scope of service management
services. The company provides technical expertise in both
HP's quality and service management centers locally, as
well as through a global delivery model that includes
onshore, near-shore and offshore delivery capabilities. 

    Achievo brings to the table the ability to address a
wide variety of client needs and expertise across the
entire HP software portfolio. 

    "Becoming a qualified software implementer further
legitimizes and recognizes Achievo's expertise and
capabilities as one of the strongest ITIL process
implementation practices focused on HP technologies,"
said Nestor G. Cruz, general manager of Achievo's North
America Business Group.  "Achievo has both the
enterprise experience and technical depth to help our
clients access and benefit from HP's superior software and
to achieve the benefits of a sound IT service management
strategy."
