Impact of split on Hewlett-Packard’s metro Atlanta operations unrevealed

Just how Hewlett-Packard’s metro Atlanta operations will be affected by the decision to split its business was not immediately known hours after the company’s announcement Monday.

The company said it was creating two publicly traded companies: HP Inc., which will comprise its personal computers and printing businesses; and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, which will comprise its enterprise technology infrastructure, software and services business.

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company would not say how its local operations would be affected by the split, saying details of the separation will be revealed over the next 12 months. The company also would not disclose how many employees it has in metro Atlanta.

Based on contact information provided by the company and other resources, however, Hewlett-Packard has operations at least in Alpharetta, Atlanta and Tucker. The businesses include a printing demo center in Alpharetta, call center operations and training centers.

Hewlett-Packard has a campus along Windward Parkway near Ga. 400. Last year, the company announced it would consolidate call center operations from around the world and move them to Alpharetta, adding about 200 jobs.
