In life certain names pop up almost immediately as the gold standard for their field. Fast cars? Ferrari. The biggest movie screens? IMAX. Kids toys? LEGO. The best soccer player? Well that is either Messi or Ronaldo and let’s not get into that argument. Over the last few decades HP has been hard at work becoming that name for computing and now let us introduce you to Digital Generation (DG), a company that wants to be the first port of call for putting HP devices in your hands.
Digital Generation is a South African ICT solutions provider with a focus on inclusivity and IT expertise. That’s why the company is not only 51.67 percent black-owned, but also 31 percent women-owned over its two decades of experience bringing superb technological support to businesses big and small. Digital Generation really lives up to its motto of not being just your ordinary IT company situated in a stuffy office park filled with the same faces you’re used to seeing – and probably not helping – in this space. It’s their unique take on IT that has led it to two decades of success and an even brighter future.
Digital Generation is an HP First-Platinum Partner and is proud to bring South African companies the 400 and 600 range of HP laptops sporting Intel processors, Windows 11 and a wide array of model options to fit your needs and budget. From basic laptops that get the fundamental work done all day to high-end laptops for applications like CAD, programming, editing and more.
You can tell HP thinks about the business use cases in the design of its laptops and we love the larger screen options in the 400 and 600 Series which allows us to do serious work while on the go combined with the fact that many keyboard options still have the full numberpad for number crunching. It’s these kinds of small touches that show that HP designed these laptops with the strong end goal of business success in mind.
This hardware is backed up with HP services such as HP Managed Print Services (MPS) and the HP Wolf Security suite. This suite is not only built for business, but its built for modern business where hybrid work has become the norm following the pandemic. With business ICT structures once housed under one roof where all aspects could be overseen at once, this splintering of the workforce with the advent of hybrid working has made security more difficult.
Breaches, outages and now even deepfakes are the unfortunate new normal of work so it’s always reassuring to know that HP and DG have your back with the combination of the Wolf Security Suite and Digital Generation’s unparalleled customer support that’s always there when you need them.
“HP has basically built a very strong and robust, high-security solution that works as a first line of defence for businesses when it comes to cybersecurity. Key aspects of this solution are that it stops the zero day threats from breaching end points with an unmatched combination of malware prevention, threat containment and identity protection. People who work remotely doesn’t necessarily mean that they work from home. An employee could, for example, be working from a restaurant or from a hot desk type office space where anyone can have access to whatever it is that you’re viewing,” says Phiwe Bacela, Sales & Marketing Manager at Digital Generation.
“So from that perspective, or even when you plug into different Wi-Fi spaces or whatever else, HP strengthens the security posture of your business, because data protection is key to your business,” Bacela continues.
We had a chance to sit down with Bacela to get further insight into HP and how it, along with Digital Generation, has changed over the past few years so be sure to check back to Hypertext soon for more on that, and how these two companies can solve any ICT problem you may have in this ever-changing field of business tech.
