Shirley, this is an error " Dell is going to take on almost $50m in debt when the $67bn acquisition of EMC completes sometime next year"
And don't call me surely...
Reuters reports Dell is thinking of selling off non-core assets to clear the decks before the EMC acquisition and raise $10bn. Four candidate businesses are mentioned: Quest Software IT management with its systems management, security and business intelligence functions SonicWall email encryption and security Rapid …
I worked at Dell when most of these companies were acquired into the software organization and when the massive layoffs came around just before Dell went private we were told the software organization was protected from said layoffs. Looks like its finally their turn.
It had to happen eventually. That is just how Dell operates.
I was at Quest when they were acquired. It was immediately clear that no one at Dell knew what to do with any of the software acqusitions.
No idea. No plans. No marketing - 2 years down the line and the majority of companies had no idea who Dell Software was.
Dell have stripped the heart and soul out of a great company in Quest. I hope it rises again - Vinny, get your chequebook out!
