82% of companies have faced unplanned downtime incidents, some enduring multiple disruptions over the past three years.
It is within this context that HP xRService, a leading player managing a vast fleet of printing machines, embarked on a transformative journey three years ago.
Jain, the leader of HP xRService, outlined their mission: to significantly reduce downtime and empower customers to self-troubleshoot and maintain their presses through XR technology.
The Need for Transformation in HP’s Service Organization
HP’s commercial printing organization is a key player in the industry, operating a variety of large-scale printing machines for over 10,000 clients. These machines, while complex and intricate, are essential for producing high-quality printouts.
To support their customers, HP has established a robust service organization. This includes skilled field service engineers, knowledgeable remote support agents, and a well-organized spare parts division. However, maintaining such an organization is not without its challenges.
Over time, the increasing number of new models and the growing complexity of the machines have made it difficult to find and train staff. Recognizing these challenges, the leaders of HP’s service organization have come to understand that it’s time for a change.
The HP leadership team recognized that the key to change lay in the power of XR technologies. They envisioned a future where Augmented and Virtual realities, combined with high-quality Digital Twin models, would revolutionize their service.

Embracing XR Technologies: The Path to Transformation
Ayush Jain, the leader of HP’s xRServices, embarked on a year-long journey to find the perfect solution. He meticulously evaluated over 100 different options, assessing their technological capabilities, team strengths, and alignment with HP xRServices current and future needs. After this extensive search, one solution stood out from the rest – frontline.io.

Achieving Efficiency and Growth: The Impact of frontline.io
The journey wasn’t always easy, but two years in, the results have been remarkable. A small team of content creators has developed over 20 Digital Twins and hundreds of flows and procedures. These resources are now being utilized by over 1,000 users, including both HP staff and clients.
The first noticeable impact was on content creation efficiency. Overcoming this significant hurdle, content creation with frontline.io proved to be four times more effective than any other solution.

The advantages of the implementation weren’t solely experienced within HP’s internal operations. Although HP is unable to disclose internal business data, they can convey the potential influence on their clients. The deployment of frontline.io has seemingly benefited HP’s clients as well. Sylvain Failgand, the Vice President & General Manager of Personalization & Industrial Business Services at HP, cautiously projects a potential 15% enhancement in the overall production capacity for HP’s clients.
