while we will not do ito, i.t., business process outsourcing, apps maintenance, we will do advise and transform, and that is what next is. we think it is an important part of the business. the other part of our business is the ecosystem of partners. here at discover in las vegas we have the biggest presence of partners, si's, that we have had in many years. we have a lot of folks that are anxious to do business with us because they don't view us as having an asset that is competitive to what they do. we have a whole bunch of players who are really interested in doing business with us now, and that is great. emily: there is always great fascination around what your future holds. how long do you plan to continue running things at hpe? meg: i love what i'm doing, i have to say, now being ahead of a smaller, more nimble, faster moving company makes this a lot of fun. i have more work to do. we have another phase in our journey to make hpe on that it be.pe everything it can i am here until my work is done. emily: what m

our objective is to make hybrid i.t. simple.ons will be in the cloud and each customer has to find the right mix for them. a lot of customers are putinking do they want to as many applications in the cloud as they originally thought for reasons of price and control, it may be better to keep it on prem. another big opportunity for consumers is the edge, when you think about campus, grant, factory floors. the edge is exploding when it comes to the need of collecting data, storing it. have been questions about margins, why is the environment so difficult now? >> our margin in enterprise a major part of the company, was down a little bit in q2. we had stranded costs from our divestitures, acquisitions that were initially diluted, significant commodity cost increases. we anticipate that margin will go back up to historic levels by q4. if we continue to grow our high-margin products, growth aruba, all flash storage arrays, our new server which is the most secure in the world, you will see nice financial performance from us as we finis

currently 75% of the i.t. budget is just maintenance and sustaining infrastructure, because our legacy systems are old and at risk of failing. that would cripple our operations. our scheduling and financial systems are outdated. that contributes to the excess weight times. ait times. both systems are in the process of being replaced, but it will take years to complete. we have a system called valeria. the v.a. loan electronic reporting interface. without funding for a new system, v.a. will have to revert to a paper-based manual system for loans that would reduce the number of veterans we serve from 90,000 per year to only 12,000 per year. we can't afford to let that happen. veterans could be at risk of foreclosure or homelessness. that's a risk we have identified. we have to modernize all i.t. systems to make them commercially viable and cloud-based solutions to the maximum extent possible. i'm committed to making a decision on the v.a.'s electronic medical record in the near future, definitely before july thi

meg: the way we see the world's hybrid i.t.ou want locks down in your data center, untouched but by only your employee hands? what would you want in a managed service? there is a role for public cloud. the for reasons of cost, security, control, people are beginning to say i wonder if i have gone too far in putting workloads into the public cloud and then want to bring them back on prem. emily: what does that mean for hpe? is ine have to do what our customers' best interest, which is a multi-cloud environment where they can have a right landing spot for their workloads. and we make sure they don't end up with the vendor lock in. people say, once you move something to the public cloud, it is difficult to move it back. we want to give customers choice and make sure that we do for them what is best for them. have been questions about your cloud partnership with microsoft. how is that going? meg: it's going well. we've done a lot of business with microsoft for many years. they are our public cloud partner. when the customer says th

they are dead on to our strategy of making hybrid i.t.imple, empowering the edge, and the services we need to make it all happen. we are feeling good about the opportunity to make reasonably priced acquisitions that fit our strategy. emily: what are the attractive targets? what areas are of interest on your radar? meg: we are interested in a number of areas, but the first is the software decline data center. it is more a software company than a structure company. it is around deploying applications easily in a hyper converged environment. we are interested in software defined, all-flash storage. we are also interested in the edge. aruba was an incredible acquisition for us, growing 33% in the last quarter. we are super excited about that. -- machine learning for security on the edge network. we continue to look for opportunities at the edge. emily: you spun off your enterprise services business, how does the services business evolve? an: services will be important part of our next. every company is trying to take their data center on a tr

>> so i.t. as we mentioned, because a lot of times i.t. companies feel that they're moving even faster than what a college or high school curriculum could move, they like to be training their own. they recognize these folks are going to need classroom training. so letting them work, learn what they learn in the classroom, then test it back as part of their development process, is the way i.t. likes to do that. companies like insurance, finance and business services, we would not normally think of those as apprentices, but claim servers and personal bankers trained as apprentices. >> i wouldn't think people would be okay hiring somebody without a college degree. do you think that could change? that feels like one of the major reasons why people go to college, to work in those industries. >> i think those industries have figured out these are the sets of skills and competencies we need for these jobs, they recognize sometimes when companies complain somebody's come out of a college program but they don't know how to do the job, there's no be

you all have i.t. budgets and you're trying to solve a problem, but in many ways, i need you to walk me through. it's my fear that the problem may have gotten worse because i have the va with one set of numbers, and i have medicare with a different set of numbers, and i have opm with a different set and i have social security with another blind identifiers. have we just made the problem much worse at least for the customer service aspect? >> if i could, let me address that to a limited degree. what you just heard here is exactly the case. we took one common field calleded a nine-digit social security number for decades and became ubiquitous in every form we fill out and we can't show that and we've got to cut the use of that where it is not publicly used. >> and we created a scheme with these things. when i became a dod member, i became a veteran at the end of that thing and i get a different number. and i am a civil servant, i get a different number yet. so how do we unite that thing? and that's how w

you have a lot of indian i.t. workers in the u.s.tricted visa access, they will have to shift some staffing back to india, but why and large, indian i.t. companies are very flexible, and nowadays physical location is not all that important anymore, so we expect the indian i.t. sector to adapt to lower visa quotas in the u.s. and to ultimately grow. it is as you say a thorny issue in the near term, and an important constituency for prime and the i.t. sector, the professional class of voters in india that feel they are impacted by this. then?uld he bring that up given what she said, they are very adaptable. should he bring this up? >> it is such a big issue within india politically that certainly raising that issue while he is at the white house, i would be surprised if he did not broach the topic at all just because it is a big issue in india. mightically speaking, it not be material for the next several years, but certainly on the agenda. >> i'm kind of curious also. we have been talking quite a bit these last few hours about this re

i.t. which affects every business line. i'm most concerned it appears these cuts are being made to pay for certain veterans to get private care. the new policies proposed in this budget to pay for private care are simply untenable. to put forward a proposal that would without warning stop earned benefits payments to the most severely disabled vets is unacceptable n this case we're not talking about folks milking the system for government fund and compensation that they don't need or don't deserve. to get the individual on plan ben fete payment, it must be determined he must be engage in work as a direct result of service to their contry. president trump's budget proposes we stop paying these veterans at a time when more americans are having to work longer to make -- longer in their lives to make ends meet. all in the name of finding more money for choice. that's a nonstarter and i hope we can get your commitment today to keep this important benefit in place. i look forward to working with
