Compaq pushes forward with services strategy
   Compaq Computer Corp., which for months has been retooling itself as a more service-oriented company, has announced a new initiative to package hardware and information technology.

The program, which the Houston-based company calls “computing on demand,” allows Compaq to unite all its hardware offerings with its services unit.

Observers have compared Compaq’s move toward service to changes IBM made a decade ago.
