Is it still believed that it will be mainframe only and everything else will be divested?
Chop shop on everything else? I see lots of BS on this site. Does anyone have any credible insights?
I’m not worried about being laid off. I’m cool with it. I’ll find a job.
The curiosity is killing me though.
As per ashok there are 150 opportunities in pipeline for DOI alone. I was shocked. Hope these are true and not a trick to sell the product at premium rates.
How is DXI doing?
DOI?
Most enterprise products to be sold off to the highest because Hock only wants #1 or #2 products. if your product is already sustain mode then he may keep it to drain the cash flow, but if your product is simply too far behind, has a big development staff and not #1 or #2, it will be sold off as he doesn't want to waste good money after bad. this means most CA enterprise products are in trouble as there really are very few #1 or #2 products. The questions are, what happens to the people on those products ? Do they go with the product? if so, is "CA agreed severance" obligated to be adhered to by the buyers? or are the new companies free to layoff at will (2 weeks)? Meaning CA's 52 weeks or Broadcom's 42 week obligation is now void? that would really s--- for those expecting 52 weeks and getting 2 weeks! and are your stock grants now void? Maybe Guy Tellanotha should explain what happens in that scenario to the lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Products like APM, IM, IMAG, PAM, Agile Central, Veracode, APIM, Clarity are all candidates for the auctions of the first year (day two). if your product doesn't make much money or just s---s, then it is a day one candidate and you get the appropriate severance.
If you've seen some of what ashok has been posting on yammer it actually sounds almost decent. Products returning to the brand names customers know and love, CA treated as a subsidiary, at least initially.
I don't think same. Whatever products has good pipeline and good market opportunities will be continued for few more months or years based on the progress being made quarterly.Ex: DOI, DXI etc.,
Few distributed products will go on divestiture for sure. few can go for shutdown if not sold within one year.
There’s going to be a mainframe and distributed franchise. The distributed franchise can’t hide behind the mainframe like at CA. Whatever isn’t making money will be removed from the distributed portfolio. I’d expect an extremely streamlined distributed offering. I’d be shocked if they got rid of 100%
