HPE accelerates digital transformation, increasing its focus on human development and the environment
Emphasizing on the issue of sustainability, which is one of its priority agenda items, HPE has created approximately 1.6 billion USD in resources for its customers in the last five years, with its recycling practices in the industry that produces nearly 50 million tons of electronic waste every year. According to the information provided by HPE Turkey General Manager Güngör Kaymak, who evaluated the first 6 months of HPE Turkey and the industry, HPE took over the transformation of 1.7 million data center devices such as servers, storage and network devices, and 2.1 million laptops, printers and tablets in 2020. While the institution made nearly 90% of this equipment reusable, the remaining part was properly recycled. Güngör Kaymak, in his speech evaluating the performance of HPE, said that: “According to the 2020 Information and Communication Industry Market Data and Trends Report published by TÜBİSAD, the total IT market remained almost at the same level in 2020 compared to the previous year. The economic stagnation observed at the beginning of the pandemic period was balanced with digital transformation projects that accelerated in the following months, allowing the sector to maintain the performance level it showed in 2019. When we look at the last six-month period, HPE continued to grow compared to previous periods in the first and second quarter reports announced globally. As HPE Turkey, we continue to strengthen our technological leadership in the local market.”
