Archana Deskus
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has hired Archana "Archie" Deskus, previously the CIO of GE's Baker Hughes oilfield services business, to oversee a massive IT restructuring. Deskus, a 17-year IT veteran who spent the past four years at Baker Hughes, will be responsible for dramatically revamping HPE's internal IT systems.
Under the Next restructuring, HPE is moving from 1,000 business processes supported by 10 ERP systems and more than 950 applications, to just 100 business processes with a single global ERP system with 350 applications.
Before taking the CIO job at Baker Hughes, Deskus was CIO at Ingersoll-Rand and Timex. She will report to HPE President Antonio Neri, who is overseeing the Next initiative.
