5. Rewarding More-for-More: TOP

TOP – Total Operating Performance - is a measure of partners‘ HP Service (HP Care Pack and HP
Contractual Services) performance relative to their market ‗benchmark‘.
Market ‗benchmark‘ is defined at a country level and is calculated by HP Product Business Unit
Group.

Total Operating Performance (TOP) considers:

 The local market place the partners are competing in

 The HP product portfolio the partners are selling.

Key characteristics of the TOP:

 The country averages are measured considering the FY2011 Gold Preferred Partner
Candidates community

 Includes Partner‘s that sell services and partners that do not sell services

 Comprises the sales that included services and the sales that did not include services

 Measured on12 month period and set for one year

 Set at a country level, annually.

5.1. FY 2012 Country Penetration Rate Percentage (%age) averages


- Your country average
Country average PR %age logic

HP evaluates on a yearly basis, at a country level, the market average penetration rate for HP
services. This market average is based on the performance of all Gold Preferred Partner Candidates.
TOP is an evolution of the PRI metrics, and has been enhanced based on feedback that we have
received from our partners. TOP considers the full lifecycle services that partners are selling, eg HP
Care Pack Services and HP Contractual Service. However the market average is set ONLY using the
sales of HP Care Pack Services and does not include HP Contractual Service sales.
