VIENNA, AUSTRIA–In what was her first keynote speech since taking over the helm at Hewlett-Packard HP2-K26 exam two months ago, CEO Meg Whitman stated that the company’s core strength is in IT infrastructure and, with this in mind, is working to restore confidence among customers and investors.As for the future of its software line, Whitman said: “We are not in the software business to transform software. We are in software to solve [our customers’ problems].”Fitch’s downgrade comes after Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services earlier this week issued a two-notch downgrade on H-P, citing concerns about the company’s inconsistent strategies and high levels of board and management turnover.

Fitch Ratings downgraded its ratings on personal-computer maker Hewlett-Packard Co. one notch, citing the company’s weaker-than-expected financial results in fiscal 2011.The ratings firm lowered its long-term issuer default rating to A, five notches into investment grade, from A-plus and removed the ratings from watch for a possible downgrade. The outlook is negative.Fitch said most of the challenges that weighed on H-P’s results this year are likely to continue in 2012. The downgrade also reflects H-P’s HP2-K26 exam increase in debt in the past two years.For more of this story, read Whitman: HP’s ‘core’ is infrastructure on ZDNet Asia.

In a move that may help it in meeting the shortage of teaching staff at three government colleges, the HP HP2-K26 exam government on Friday raised the retirement age of the faculty members of the Medical and Dental Colleges to 62 years from the present 58.The decision, taken in cabinet meeting presided over by Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, comes two days after some of the teaching faculty members retired.In yet another significant decision, the government abolished the system of unilateral fixing of the rates for the sale and registration of land and introduced a system of “circle rates” to be fixed once in a financial year.Under the new system the rates will be finalised by the deputy commissioners on the basis of distance of the land from the roads.
