NEWS Hewlett-Packard said on Friday that it has won a $55m, five-year contract from retailer 7-Eleven to upgrade the technology at the convenience store chain in the US.
Under the agreement, the computing giant will supply, install and maintain custom-built IT products to revamp 7-Eleven's Retail Information System.
The contract covers 5,300 7-Eleven stores across the country. Most of these stores already use HP servers and routers.
In a separate deal announced on Friday, Publix Super Markets placed an order for 16,000 HP RP5000 point-of-sale terminals and 2,000 HP ProLiant servers. The companies did not give out financial details of the deal but the point-of-sale terminals start at $800 each.
The PC-based cash registers and servers are for installation at Publix's 800-plus supermarkets in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
