UK based startup Huddle.net announced today that Hewlett-Packard (HP) will include the Huddle collaboration application on commercial PCs, laptops and netbooks globally.

“Teaming up with the world’s largest technology company is yet another validation of Huddle as a principal player in the collaboration market,” said Alastair Mitchell, co-founder and CEO, Huddle.net. “With Huddle, HP customers gain access to the enterprise-level collaboration tools at the SMB prices that deliver competitive advantage and increase business efficiency.”

Huddle is debuting within HP Connect Solutions, a new desktop collection of HP and partner software aiming to help small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in their day-to-day activities. Huddle is one of only two third-party applications available on Connect Solutions, alongside Symantec’s Norton Online Backup.

HP customers will benefit from exclusive Huddle offers via Connect Solutions, as well as the recently relaunched HP Access web site. HP Access offers special promotions to Small to Medium Businesses, supporting them throughout their ‘life events’ from starting a business through generating revenue to increasing productivity.

In addition, as part of a phased rollout, Huddle will be available through the HP Advisor Dock, a customizable, desktop bar that helps users to discover HP and partner software on first boot of their machine. Through the Advisor Dock, HP customers will access online offers and navigate through key applications and services.

The collaboration with HP is the last on Huddle’s list of global deals. In 2009, Huddle signed up the world’s largest conferencing provider InterCall and launched its application across key social networks including LinkedIn, Ning and XING.
