Here is how it's going to play out. Hock is going to tell everyone he hopes to build the world's leading infrastructure technology company, there will be great growth opportunities for employees, Broadcom invests heavily in R&D, he bought CA for their patents, he bought CA for their customers, and he hopes to convince CA customers to buy chips for their datacenters directly from Broadcom. All of the conflicting technobabble he's been repeating to us and to analysts.
Behind the scenes, his crack integration team will be running around with spreadsheets of CA ITC resources determine who will be the first 25 percent to be let go and who will be the next 50 percent put on transition to Wipro. All to meet the stated goal of 250 million dollars in cost savings day one and 1.1 billion in cost savings by the end of 2019 (all publicly reported to analysts). What will be left is a mainframe software company making 1.5 billion a year in profit and maybe some niche software products like PPM and APIM. All the rest will be sold off or shut down.
Do the needful folks!
