HP Instant Ink – Scaling a Value Proposition around the World


Listen Later

Running a PaaS in over 40 countries successfully

Never run out of ink - that is the promise of HP Instant Ink. This promise attracts millions of customers worldwide. Shuchir Bhatia, Global Product Manager for HP Instant Ink takes us on a journey to discover how HP runs this proposition on a global scale.

Shuchir explains why HP chose a Pay-per-Month over a Pay-per-Use (or Pay per Page) plan and how the ink and the printer play together for HP Instant Ink. Connectivity is key, also for fraud protection. Additionally, we get insights into regional adaptation parameters and the go-to-market interfaces with the local sales organisation.

This episode is the second in the series PaaS Decoded, 16 conversations about the fine details of product-as-a-service.
