HP Celebrates 20 Years Of Innovation In The Retail And Hospitality Industry With Next-Generation Platform
HP News, Tuesday, June 13,2023
It's been two decades since HP launched its first dedicated retail point-of-sale (POS) platform, the HP rp5000, on June 6, 2003, and today we are excited to announce the 5th generation of this platform, the HP Engage Flex Pro G2 & HP Engage Flex Pro-C G2.
While plenty has changed about this platform over the last 20 years, like the name, the additional size option, and of course the evolving technology inside the box, there are core aspects of this platform that have remained unchanged, including the flexible and reliable design and the long lifecycle.
Twenty years ago, the HP rp5000 provided businesses with the best of both worlds by combining the price and performance of a traditional desktop PC with the features and functionalities of a POS system. The rp5000 and the generations that followed provided a wide range of businesses with the flexibility of an industry-standard PC-based architecture, enhanced peripheral support, ruggedized chassis and components, and a 10-year total purchasing and support lifecycle combined with the economies of scale that HP has in the PC market.
