On behalf of the Americas Region of the new HP, it gives me great pleasure to extend greetings to you and the members of the International Association of HP Computing Professionals. I also want to commend your organization on 28 years of service to your worldwide membership and for your support in providing information and education on HP products and services through your conferences, publications, and online services.

As you know, we launched the new HP just over a month ago, and the feedback we are receiving as a combined company is extremely positive. It's evident that the tremendous amount of front-end planning for the merger is paying off in smooth execution as the integration of our companies accelerates.

I look forward to building a strong relationship with you and the loyal customers and users of Hewlett-Packard products and services who comprise the Interex membership.

Sincerely,

Jim Milton
