Thread regarding CA Technologies (CA Inc.) layoffs

Partner program discontinued?

I heard that Partner program will be discontinued. A friend overseas told me that last week Partner enablement reps were freaking out. They were not laid off yet, but they had a call last week and they are already aware that and is about to happen soon.

That being said, is the same thing happening in NA? Maybe the partner program is being discontinued in some Countries for not being profitable?

Thoughts?

Broadcom are clearly cost cutters. They work on high margins and keep a streamlined business. So I would expect partners to play a bigger role, as I imagine they'll only keep core sales support for the top clients. If they'll provide the same level of support to partners....who knows, but I imagine partners will be core to the future

@VhQAH7N-1cts And has it ever produced real results? I don't consider the typical "we'll bundle X with your existing contract!!" which sales counts as a win.

No trolling. Sales, dev, support, that’s all you need to run a software company. Say bye to the fluff.

Finally, yet another useless group to cut. Broadcom buying CA will be the best thing to ever happen to the company. They actually have the requisite balls to trim all of the fat that's accumulated over the years.
