Michael Dell: Dell EMC is ‘close to operating as one company’

by Mike Wheatley | Oct 20, 2016
Dell EMC rolled out a bevy of new products on the last day of its inaugural Dell EMC World conference Wednesday that are designed to help to stitch together the newly combined companies’ massive portfolio of enterprise technologies.

Dell close its acquisition of EMC on Sept. 7, and the speed at which the new entity has shipped out so many new products suggests that much of the integration between the two is already done and dusted, barely six weeks after the deal closed.

That integration was most evident in Dell EMC’s IT infrastructure business, especially around hyperconverged solutions and storage, and in security. Indeed, Dell Technologies Inc. CEO Michael Dell stressed in his keynote address Wednesday that his new behemoth has already moved past the complications of merging the two organizations. (*Disclosure below.)

“We are already operating as one company,” he insisted, reiterating what Dell and EMC officials said at the time the deal closed.

That everything has gone so smoothly should not come as a surprise, for Dell revealed in an interview on SiliconANGLE’s TV show theCUBE that many of the details of the merger had been planned out way before the deal was first announced back in October 2015.

“This has been years in the making, dating back to 2001 when we originally created the Dell/EMC alliance,” Dell said of the merger. “We’ve known for a very long time exactly what we were going to do,” he added, with regard to today’s slew of product announcements.
