 "Our partnership with HP is based on how they meet our needs. What we buy isn't necessarily what HP needs to sell from a new product perspective, but they work with us to meet our business objectives nonetheless. That's the amazing thing; they put our needs first. HP is committed to our long-term success and we truly appreciate that. They are our true partners."- Patrick Bush, Director of Information Systems, Brandywine (Del.) Schools
