Is that you DM or PM or CM?
My friends and colleagues, nobody wants to see this company succeed more than I do. Since taking over this role just over a year ago we've made significant investments in SDWAN and the Human Experience. We've also had to make some difficult decisions to say goodbye to some of our friends and colleagues. At this point I am open to feedback on what we could have done differently and what we can do going forward to grow this company.
Hard to tell since the devil is in the operating costs which I am not privy to.
Is q2 as bad as q1 ?
Time to sack one and hire another Cisco reject. This time pay no more than $4m.
Word is Q2 is not great! How is their Chief Sales officer still there? The word is he's not hit his number since being elevated to the role more than a year ago. Which SVP (scapegoat) will be the next one to be sacked as a conseqence?!
For those who got training on it, is it actually more of a lower level routing replacement like the execs are telling us, or is it a similar solution to SCON and can be interchangeable?
It looks good! Works as advertised
Heard some versa training going on. How does the product look?
Org chart was put together by ex-Ci$co castoffs who thought this place could be run like Ci$co from the late 90s.
Get rid of the duplicates SE orgs, all any company needs is one especially when we’re this small.
Another week to go, do something ppl. Find some customers. Renew a few things. Reduce debt
Replace MS from SteelCentral with MLaPD
That would change things substantially
Which execs should I let go?
You can expect a stall due to Versa announcement. I would have announced it closer to GA
I'd be surprised if the captain can and his handpicked crew can survive another qtr like q1. he probably already knows the ship will sink but he will do his best to go down with duty and honor like the captain of the titanic.
Q2 results have nothing to do with Versa
is the speculated poor q2 results due to Versa or in general?
Q2 is not going well people.
I suggest everyone to look up what corporate debt restructuring is.
Writing is on the wall. The Bloomberg report.
Why the heck would Microsoft buy us
Renewed Microsoft buyout rumors abound
Yes, expect some stall as the customers reaffirm our direction. We have 4 months to convince them. But seeing some early interest as well.
They just signed the deal, afaik they suppose to start selling in September.
Have sales team been trained on Versa?
Hold your office chairs tight
Pls sell some versa if possible guys
RiverBREXIT is coming if q2 is anything like q1
Q2 is just fine. We will earn what we will earn. Money is not the most important thing in life. Stop troubling PM
Riverbed earnings for Q1 was just a nudge over $6 trillion dollars. Q2 we are on pace to over achieve and hit $9 trillion dollars. Q3/Q4 total pipe is around $2 octillion dollars - all US revenue, not sure about EMEA and APAC, perhaps their total combined revenue is somewhere in the $1-2 thousand dollar range.
The leadership of all BUs knows exactly how the Q is going.
Marketing??? How would they know? Sales leadership should be the ones giving guidance
marketing at SKO was stating that it looks positive/promising..
Also, why have there been no quarterly earnings calls anymore? Didn't the management state that they would continue to have them although the company has gone private?
