Once again Condo Protego had a full team attending EMC World in Las Vegas, last week. There were numerous highlights, with so many new announcements and now pretty much full clarity on how the new organization will be structured once the merger with DELL is completed.
From a personal perspective there were two very poignant moments during the conference, and both involved Joe Tucci, the Chairman and CEO of EMC. Prior to Michael Dell announcing his vision and structure for the new organization, Joe effectively handed over 'his baby' and spoke of his transition towards a peripheral role.
I remember when Joe first joined EMC. As an EMC Sales Manager, I was attending the EMC Global kickoff in New Orleans in January 2000. Well of course Joe changed the whole face of EMC, ensuring that it continued such stellar growth, but through a wide range of remarkable acquisitions.
There is no doubt that Michael Dell has made the right choice, he wants the industry leading hardware solutions company, and by buying EMC and merging his current DELL products, he fills in the numerous previous gaps in the complete portfolio with all the leading products in one swoop.
On behalf of everyone at Condo Protego I wish Joe a very happy transition to his new life.
