The services areas are the same as the SOA services that HP announced in 2005, which range from front-end assessment services to the actual design, integration, and management of business process models and Web services, according to Tim Treat, manager of worldwide packaged applications for enterprise application services at HP Consulting and Integration.

HP has now combined the SOA offerings with its SAP ERP upgrades and the design and implementation of SAP NetWeaver applications, Treat said.
