Anyone current with what is happening at HPE knows HPE has jettisoned its Services and Software businesses. 

In the last 18 months, they sold their WW Customer Services BU, their WW Managed Services BU and their WW Software Services BU.

HP-UX has no future and HPE is aggressively promoting HP-UX Cust's move to Linux. NonStop is likely to end up next on the chopping block - especially since HPE recently purchased SGI.

Point being is that, unless they are looking for storage or server HW, I do not think many Cust's care what HPE says these days.
