A broken clock is right twice a day, and even EMC CEO Joe Tucci was right once in his lifetime.
But don't look at his other acquisitions.
- ghaff 4y agoThe Data General acquisition, which got them CLARiiON, arguably saved the company during the downturn--given that belt-tightening really hurt Symmetrix sales.
- rehash3 4y agoHmm.. EMC (which essentially was Smoking Joe T as the CEO for most its limelight years) did quite well with acquisitions, Data Domain, Isilon, VMware and many more smaller acquisitions. They never bought a company to inherit their cash flow but saw an opportunity to invest and grow their business by adding their amazing sales machinery which was stellar as well.
