Grand Opening Celebration on Tuesday, December 8
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CompUSA and HP today announced the opening of two HP Business Resource
Centers, stores situated inside two existing CompUSA retail locations in
South Florida: Miami-Dadeland and Plantation. Featuring the full scope
of HP products for small-to-medium-sized businesses, the centers provide
small- and medium-sized business owners and managers with the
opportunity to enjoy a hands-on experience with products and solutions
designed to help them manage, protect and grow their companies.
"It is very gratifying to partner with a company of HP's stature for
these unique stores, the first of their kind in North America," said
Gilbert Fiorentino, Chief Executive of the Technology Products Group at
Systemax Inc, parent company of CompUSA. "CompUSA visitors already
include a number of small and medium-sized business owners. We hope that
they will find their visits to our stores to be even more rewarding as
they can now browse not only our huge selection of computers, computer
products, HDTVs and electronics, but also a full slate of HP commercial
products and solutions, presented in state-of-the-art interactive
displays. We invite small business owners across Miami to come out and
see what HP has on offer at CompUSA at our grand opening celebration."
The HP Business Resource Center experience is further enhanced with the
new HP Virtual Sales Consultant that enables customers to connect
directly with an HP expert. This web-based video chat enables customers
to instantly talk live, via webcam, with an HP small- and medium-sized
business expert about the HP business solutions and products featured in
the store, plus the overall HP business product portfolio.
"HP's in-store presence is about being where customers want to buy;
showing them solutions that help them manage, protect and grow their
businesses; and supporting them with an exceptional experience that
includes access to HP professionals," said Kathy Chou, Vice President of
Worldwide Small and Midsize Business Strategy and Commercial Sales at
HP. "We call this philosophy HP Total Care and we are delighted to
extend this experience to South Florida businesses with our HP Business
Resource Centers in CompUSA."
