The Dell and EMC merger will create the world’s largest PRIVATELY-controlled, end-to-end technology company. Will this new private company give a stronger advantage against publicly traded competitors?

I think the biggest challenge will be cash flow to make investments/acquisitions. But, I said the exact same thing about Dell.
Rob Steele
@CTOAdvisor yep, and DELL was able to secure funding for the largest IT deal in history. I don't see them having problems locking down additional funds in the future. Even though they already have all the tools / solutions they need.
Dave Vellante
Well Dell can write its own narrative and not be affected by stock price
Rob Steele
obviously Elliot Management had some influence on getting this deal done, but now that outside influence is less likely... Do we see more IT innovation and less financial hesitations ?
John Furrier
Elliott Management is the Gordon Gecko of today's world without them this wouldn't have happened
Rob Steele
@furrier one of the many reasons why the Open Source community is thriving!

end-to-end in software ??
Phil Dunn
End to End? Not truly. No Database, no middleware, no applications, no archive but it’s a start.
Rob Steele
@Phil_Dunn1 end to end infrastructure; there are plenty of open source DB options; middleware? the new play is open API; between the two companies there are plenty of applications including SourceOne and Dell Archive manager... both are archiving apps.
