Ketchup or Catch Up?
September 13, 2007
This is a quickie. Either EMC is confused, or I am.
I quoted Tom Roloff in my last post as saying, "We're a Hardware Business."
Oh really, if you say so, I thought.
But then...
I happened upon Andrew Chapman's blog which says that EMC is the sixth largest software company in the world.
And though he doesn't speak for EMC, (in his blog, anyway) he does work for them. And, I think he's bright, has a great deal of integrity and is not likely to make-up facts.
What to make of this?
The New York Stock Exchange still calls EMC a "Computer Storage Devices Company" , so maybe Roloff is right (which wouldn't make Chapman wrong, by the way.)
Or maybe Wall Street, and EMC itself, hasn't yet had the time to digest all of EMC's acquisitions.
I say, it's still warm out, kick back with a buger,drink your own Koolaid, and read your own marketing shtick.
EMC is "The World's Leading Developer and Provider of Information, Infrastructure, Technology, and Solutions."
Oh, and don't forget the ketchup!

I thought I'd try to retain the credibility that I so kindly received in this entry ;-) My assertion that EMC is the sixth biggest software company is the world comes from an EMC press release, (so it must be true), and I quote...
From January of this year...
"We have evolved from a pure storage company to a broader and more in-depth information infrastructure company that is a major player in disciplines that are priorities for IT managers, such as virtualization, information security, content management, resource management and green IT. We are currently the ninth biggest IT company and sixth biggest software company in the world. Moreover, EMC is the fastest growing IT company in the world-wide top 10. EMC has grown a lot, but we are still only focused on one thing, i.e. information, the core of our customers' operational management," concludes Van Peteghem.
