Among those is Hewlett-Packard (HP), one of the world’s biggest IT companies.

HP’s vast portfolio includes printing, personal computing, software, services and IT infrastructure. The company’s head offices are located in California, but it operates in over 170 countries and employs over 300,000 employees worldwide. In 2010 the company’s revenues reached 126 billion USD2.
