Dell EMC: Channeling Success

#EMC World 2016 was held May 2-5th, 2016 in Las Vegas, NV. The overall event was packed both in content and in attendance, with many product announcements. The real focus was on the merger between #Dell and EMC.

The combined businesses will be under the umbrella of a new company named Dell Technologies. Neuralytix believes success can be achieved, but a great deal of this rides on the executives at the helm. Current CEO Joe Tucci has expressed his intention to stay involved in the new company so there is good reason to be optimistic (albeit, that he has no official position at Dell Technologies at this point).

EMC used this opportunity to host its separate, but complementary, annual EMC Global Partner Summit. Partners were able to attend the main sessions at EMC World, meet with EMC executives and customers, and attend a partner only concert (by invitation only) and breakouts, without conflicting with the main tent key notes.

Neuralytix believes the new “Dell EMC” has a winning combination – a “soup-to-nuts” product set and wide market acceptance. The routes to market are largely complementary but at different levels of maturity.

Partners were keen to learn how the post-merger combination would affect future products, channels, and partnerships. It was announced that the merged entities would be represented by two divisions.

One part of the business, which will be based in Austin, will serve the consumer business, which will continue to be named Dell; the other, the enterprise part of the business, will called Dell EMC and will be headquartered in Hopkinton, MA.
