- SERVICE OVERVIEW
HP Device as a Service (DaaS) is a modern service model that simplifies how organizations equip their employees with the right hardware, support, and lifecycle services. Our goal is to improve end user productivity and security while providing customers and IT with performance, agility, and cost predictability.
As part of HP DaaS, Proactive Management with HP TechPulse provides multi-OS device management services, comprehensive insights, and reports for the device fleet. HP offers three plans: Standard, Enhanced, and Premium. Standard is designed for customers who want to manage and secure their own endpoints but want to leverage the unique insights and reports from HP TechPulse to do this more effectively and with greater visibility to issues that are impacting end-user productivity. Enhanced and Premium packages include multi-OS device management and security policy enforcement by specialized HP Service Experts. HP Service Experts are trained and certified in unified, multi-OS endpoint management technology and will assist IT in delivering proactive security, support, and device management. Please note that Proactive Management does not include any form of onsite “break-fix” support or any onsite support Service Level Agreement (SLA), however, these can be purchased separately and included in the HP DaaS contract.
HP TechPulse is the HP analytics and machine learning platform that provides rich insights at the fleet level while also providing detailed insights and recommendations at the individual device/user level. HP TechPulse uses machine learning, preconfigured logic, and contextual data to deliver device, application, and usage insights which help customers optimize IT spending, resources and perhaps most importantly, end user productivity and security. Customers can view dashboards of their environment and reports for all enrolled devices, including non-HP devices1. The HP DaaS Proactive Management and TechPulse platform is cloud-based and offers flexibility and scalability for customers who have mobile users and multiple device and OS types at multiple locations. HP TechPulse analytics and reporting gives customers that “single pane of glass,” holistic view of their multi-OS fleet through an intuitive dashboard.

Other HP DaaS Proactive Management personas:
HP Account Delivery Manager (ADM):
HP Account Delivery Managers (ADM) may be included in some plans or can be added to an existing HP DaaS Proactive Management contract for an additional charge.
Customers who purchase HP DaaS Proactive Management through their preferred partner will sometimes designate their partner to have access to the HP DaaS Proactive Management portal and to serve as the primary point of contact for incident notifications in coordination with HP Service Experts.
The objective of an HP Account Delivery Manager (if applicable) is to help ensure HP is meeting its contract goals and be a proactive, trusted customer advisor. The ADMs primary responsibilities can include:
- Account transition and setup
- Business reviews
- Account planning
- Business Collaboration
- Contract administration
- Services and third-party management
- Socialize new Service features with the customer
- Internal HP deliverables
- Customer-specific requests
Partner:
The customer’s reseller or IT services partner, at the customer’s discretion, may take on some or all the customer’s responsibilities within the Proactive Management plan. In addition to that option, partners (if applicable) can be responsible for the following tasks:
- Ensure the HP Proactive Management Care Pack is registered.
- Schedule and host meetings with HP and customer as needed.
- If applicable, provide business insights and expert analysis for customer environment leveraging Proactive Management reports.
- If applicable, perform customer point of contact or other duties, if so designated by the end customer.
- Assist customer with device enrolment or troubleshooting as needed.
- Socialize new Service features with the customer
- CUSTOMER ONBOARDING:
Onboarding is the process of bringing all customer devices covered under the DaaS plan into the Proactive Management with HP TechPulse solution. This is critical for HP to deliver the service successfully. HP TechPulse can monitor and track the devices, collect data, and generate reports and actionable insights, once the customer has been successfully onboarded and all DaaS devices have been enrolled. This data collection is required for HP Service Experts to manage the customer devices in both the Enhanced and the Premium DaaS plans.
Onboarding Program Management:
An HP Onboarding Program Manager will be assigned to manage the onboarding process for the account if the customer purchases an HP DaaS Enhanced or Premium plan. Once the service is registered, the Onboarding Program Manager will manage the onboarding project from kick off to completion and is responsible for the successful onboarding of the account. Please refer to the Roles and Responsibilities section for more details about the scope of the Onboarding Program Manager role.
If the customer purchases the HP DaaS Standard plan, no dedicated Onboarding Program Manager will be assigned since it is a self-managed plan. Once a customer completes registration of the service, HP will review the information and create the account for the customer. HP Service Experts will also send a welcome email to the customer once account creation is complete. As a part of the welcome kit, customers will receive instructions on how to obtain assistance.
Onboarding process overview:
The onboarding process can be broken down into five phases:
- Phase 1 – Registration
- Phase 2 – Information gathering
- Phase 3 – HP Recommendations and Account Creation
- Phase 4 – Deployment
- Phase 5 – Transition to Ongoing Management
The registration process is the same for all plans, but it varies depending on how the service is purchased: through contract, Electronic Software Delivery SKUs, or Fixed Care Pack SKUs. The remaining phases vary depending on the plan purchased. If it is Premium or Enhanced plan, HP will have Onboarding Program Manager assigned, and lead through the onboarding process by working with customers. If the self-managed Standard plan is selected, HP will create the account, but the customer or partner will be responsible to complete the remaining tasks. HP will provide instructions to assist with these tasks.
The above phases will be explained in detail soon.
