With barely a week to go before the company's new product is scheduled to ship, the manufacturing department is smack in the middle of moving.

The old fabrication area is already cleared out, but the new one is still being set up. Employees are ferrying parts and equipment from one building to another on handcarts, and somebody dropped one of the finished units, cracking the housing.

Not that anyone seems concerned about all this chaos — that's just the price of success for ViewPlus Technologies.

CORVALLIS — The watchword is "transformation."

That's Hewlett-Packard's term for how it will shift its operations to better meet increasing competition and declining growth rate in revenues. The strategy is to emphasize digital photography and home entertainment for the consumer market and push color printing for businesses.

What that will mean for headcounts at HP's sprawling Corvallis campus remains unclear, but Hewlett-Packard employees and community leaders say they've been told to expect big changes.
