BEIJING, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com Inc signed strategic partnership with HP Inc on Thursday, a move aimed at boosting its strength to compete in the growing enterprise market in the country.
Under the deal, the two sides will enhance cooperation in product development, sales, marketing and customer services, connecting the sales platform and brand to offer clients better services.
Hu Shengli, president of JD.com Inc's 3C business department, said the two companies aimed to offer high-quality products and services to meet clients' changing needs.
"Instead of simply copying the offline experiences, we will focus on industry exploration and networking. Supported by JD's technology capability and platform, it will be a win-win game."
