Peter Oganesean, Managing Director at HP, spoke to CNME Editor Mark Forker during GITEX Global 2025, to outline how their Workforce Experience Platform is transforming experiences, the capabilities of its AI PCs – and the importance of the digital inclusion initiatives in the form of HOPE AND Gaming Garage.
Oganesean began the conversation by highlighting what message HP were trying to project at GITEX Global 2025 – and reiterated that they were on a mission to deliver better and more personalised experiences for their customers.
“At this year’s GITEX, we have been focusing on our future of work strategy. AI is transforming the way we work, and at HP we want to deliver the best possible experiences to our customers. We have developed products that are going to give customers a much more personalised experience. We believe that by infusing AI into our product portfolio then that is going to deliver better outcomes and experiences for our customers, which in turn will increase productivity”, said Oganesean.
The Managing Director at HP then stressed how the company was committed to making technology work for its customers and detailed the capabilities of its new suite of AI PCs.
“I believe that AI-enabled technology will transform the way we work, and our aim at HP is to make technology work for people rather than the other way around. We have developed the latest generation of AI PCs that are designed to adapt to different industries and workstyles and ultimately deliver the best possible performance on our devices. We have engineered our AI PCs to fix and properly handle the key tasks on the device itself. This delivers better performance, data protection, battery efficiency and significantly reduces the dependency on cloud computing”, said Oganesean.
The Workforce Experience Platform has resonated with the marketplace, and Oganesean explained that whilst it does simplify the job of IT teams, it also served a purpose at every level of an organisation.
“Take a mid-size enterprise with 100s of devices that IT teams need to manage, these devices could be in the office, and we know in our work from anywhere world, many of these devices could also be in different regions. That creates huge complexity for IT teams to try and manage that. The Workforce Experience Platform is designed to support IT teams to manage, monitor and support not just HP devices, but non-HP devices too. It isn’t just for IT managers; it is a solution for every level of the organisation. The Workforce Experience Platform has a built in ROI calculator for user sentiment and analytics. If you want to know if your employees are happy with the technology that you offer and you want to hear from them then they can provide feedback directly to the platform”, said Oganesean.
Oganesean concluded the interview by highlighting the impact their HOPE and Gaming Garage initiatives are having in their pursuit of accelerating digital equity for 150 million people worldwide.
“It is incredibly important to us education is one of our top priorities and it is a global objective for us. We want to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people by 2030. The Gaming Garage was an initiative that was started here in the Middle East region and we’re proud of that, and the program has now expanded globally. It’s not just a training program, it’s an opportunity for students to explore gaming programming, e-sports, gaming design, digital storytelling and creative technology that redefines the future in terms of the way we collaborate, connect and work in the future. We have 5 courses on the platform, and we recently just added one on cybersecurity and blockchain. We have over 100 modules, it is available in the Arabic language, and we believe that is helping us take a big step towards our goal of addressing digital inequity for 150 million people”, said Oganesean.
