I think this is a way to consolidate the whole Autonomy mess they started when they overpaid for and tried to integrate the company.
It seems HP, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Box, etc. are all trying to build the future of business computing. Good luck with that!
- catmanjan 10y agoWe're trying to integrate with some of the Autonomy stuff at the moment, talking to HP you realize they know about as much as we do about the products - I assume they got the products, but forgot to hire the developers who created them? Wasn't it over $1 billion for Autonomy?
- freestockoption 10y agoMore like $11 billion :)
- catmanjan 10y agoYeah wow I was an order of magnitude off... I can't wrap my head around how this is good business but I'm sure someone knows what they're doing.
- jldugger 10y agoThey ended up writing off 9 billion or so of that purchase.
- justincormack 10y agoIt wasn't good business. HP are suing for fraud. However no they did not know what they were doing. Probably still don't.
- mathattack 10y agoI just heard a Podcast from HP and Autonomy's chief customer guy hyping NPS score. I guess they never asked you. :-)
