HP OpenView was a Hewlett Packard product range consisting of an extensive portfolio of network and systems management products. In 2007 the entire HP OpenView portfolio was rebranded under the strengthened HP Software name.
HP OpenView was most commonly described as a suite of software applications which allow large-scale system and network management of an organization\'s IT assets. It includes hundreds of optional modules from HP as well as thousands of third parties which connect within the well-defined framework and communicate with one another.

Historically, the foundation product was Network Node Manager (NNM), and this provided GUI services for other products, which integrated with it. Nowadays, NNM is generally used in its own right to manage networks, possibly in conjunction with other products, such as Cisco CiscoWorks.
HP has a history of acquiring network management software companies. In 2004 it bought Novadigm and its Radia suite; in 2005, it acquired Peregrine Systems and its leading IT asset and service management software portfolio. These were integrated into the HP OpenView business unit to create a \'comprehensive distributed enterprise management software solution\'.
In November 2006 HP completed its purchase of Mercury Interactive Corp., and from February 2007 is integrating Mercury application and software life cycle management solutions into the HP Software suite.
Last, in August 2007, HP has announced its intention to purchase Opsware.
In early 2007, alongside the integration of Mercury, the entire HP OpenView portfolio is being rebranded under the strengthened HP Software name. The OpenView and Mercury brands are being phased out. HP OpenCall will continue, however, as a sub-brand of HP Software.
HP OpenView Internet Usage Manager (IUM) is a convergent mediation product from HP.
Service providers need a flexible mediation product that will handle the complex business and charging logic required by converged services and one built on open standards and frameworks to transition from the siloed systems of today to the IMS-based services of tomorrow.
HP IUM is a single, powerful convergent mediation product for all usage data needs. HP IUM collects, processes and correlates usage records and events from all network elements and service applications across voice and data services for prepaid, post-paid and real time charging in wireless, wireline and cable networks.
With HP IUM, service providers can implement convergent mediation to realize revenue from both legacy and emerging IMS services from voice and data to content, quadruple play and hosted services. This critical usage data is easily passed downstream to business support systems to help implement usage-based billing systems, identify fraud and revenue leaks, perform CDR warehousing in order to analyze subscribers\' behavior to develop strategic marketing programs and profitable value-added services, assist in managing capacity — all of which further extend the value of the IUM convergent mediation system to service providers.
OpenView Forum International is the primary user group representing the community that uses OpenView. OpenView Forum International rebranded as Vivit in early 2007. In addition to providing most of the services one would expect from a user group, OpenView Forum International formerly organized the yearly HP Software Forum (formerly "OpenView Forum") — a conference designed for users of HP OpenView products. In 2007, HP took over responsibility for the HP Software Forum and re-named it HP Software Universe.
While it is not an actual "user group", the ITRC is a group of users that can provide information and answer questions about OpenView products. The ITRC is an online forum with a sometimes surprising depth of expertise. See the external link below in the external links section.
These are some of OpenView\'s major competitors:
