Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld that Cisco was created via an acquisition and continues to build out its portfolio of products with the same strategy Indeed, Cisco snapped up Voice over Internet Protocol company KiSS Technology last week. Previou...

Last week HP laid off 14,500 people and most determined that this was actually a good thing. In a way I think most of us have forgotten how hard a layoff of this size can be on any organization and how disruptive a drawn out process (this one is expected to take six quarters) can be. Still the result is likely to be a much more nimble and cost-effective HP, and that will be good for both the employees who remain and HP's customers...

But Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld that Microsoft may get out of the box first with its next-generation console and established developer tools "With the Xbox supposedly hitting the market first, the expectation is that many of the to...

Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle said the tweaks being made in large tech firms can make a substantial difference, but in the end, it still comes down to execution. A combined approach might work in a business with clear lines of communication and responsibility, but not as well in places where there are internal political and power struggles, he added...

Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle said HP will need to work hard to make the cuts pay off "Layoffs are problematic in that they both reduce cost and reduce the capability of the company," Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "This is part of what is required to both bu...

We spend a lot of time forecasting the death of Sun these days. Employees have probably forgotten how to spell the word "morale," acquisitions seem more focused on distracting stake holders from clueless executives, and there often seems like a plan to develop more never-to-be-executed, silly strategies there than at any other company that has ever existed...

"The Web as we know is going to be completely altered by the arrival of video," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "The opportunities to reach a more focused, more interactive audience is going to drive major changes." That change is already...

One of the big problems for complex companies is the ability, or inability, to use expertise developed in one area in another. This is one of the reasons complex companies like Sony often fail; they have all of the disadvantages of that complexity and don't really get the anticipated synergies or economies of scale that were generally used to justify the creation of their complex structures...

Despite Microsoft's concern for the challenges facing midmarket businesses, Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld that the software giant is somewhat on again, off again when it comes to this segment "Microsoft's midmarket division has languished over ...

On this day in the United States we celebrate our independence from what was reported to be a very oppressive government. Of course, since the victors get to tell the story and it all happened even before my time, I have little doubt there was another side. History may seem black and white, but I know the history I have lived through seldom was ...

"Microsoft recognizes that it is at its best from a competitive standpoint when it's focusing its time, energy and resources on innovation and making better products," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "They recognized some time ago that they have to get back to that sharp focus."

I just had one of the most surreal experiences in my life. I attended, as AMD's guest, the F1 Race in Indianapolis where 14 out of the 20 cars racing, including the Intel car, left the race after the parade lap ...

A lot can be drawn from watching the initial moves of a new CEO. In Carly Fiorina's case those moves were building an empire and driving a fast path to becoming the largest company, as well as the most visible CEO, in the segment. Both goals were achieved, but afterwards Fiorina lost focus and ultimately, she lost the job ...

Finally, after sending signals of this move ever since Steve Jobs re-took Apple's helm, the company last week announced that it will move to the x86 platform. While I had clearly anticipated this move for some time I also expected their execution, once announced, to be much more rapid than it will be. Apple's traditional mode of operation is to wait until the absolute last minute and then announce any major release to avoid the Osborne effect, (named after a failed computer company that was known to announce new products a year in advance of their release)...

Computex in Taiwan is the showcase for technology coming out of, and into, this country. Much like Comdex, it, and CeBIT in Europe, are the shows that have defined high technology throughout the world. The vendor battles here are no less dramatic than the vendor battles were at Comdex, and, strangely enough, they are often between and among the same vendors...
