When Vivit began planning for HP Discover, members
agreed that one of the most important functions of Vivit is to link members to
each other and to HP resources. From this input, we developed opportunities for
members who are attending HP Discover in Las Vegas, June 11-13, to "get linked.”
Training
Start the conference early with Vivit Advanced Training.
This is a great opportunity to get linked to practitioners who are in the field
solving business problems with HP Software tools every day and to advance professionally.
In addition, HP ExpertOne is offering free training and
certification exams. It’s a great way to save—for HP
Partners that need to meet compliance requirements, and for individuals
looking to extend their technical credentials.

apps—and other sources—to provide comprehensive insight into all the
information available. Hear how the solution combines data from several HP
products to deliver a complete overview of an application from a variety of
