#Dell / #EMC World is next week, and I’m actually looking forward to it this year. I’ve been close to both EMC and Dell for an extended period, and I find the merger between the two firms fascinating—largely because what they did was the third seemingly impossible thing in a row. First they took Dell private which was thought to be impossible. Then as a private company, they bought EMC, which was larger and not distressed (so full price), and finally, after overcoming the regulatory hurdles, the resulting merger was largely complete, not just getting started, as is more commonly the case. I’m in awe at all of this because convention wisdom said that none of it was even remotely possible. Now we have Dell/EMC World, and I’m looking for some new answers. My Dell World To-Do List While there wasn't a lot of overlap between the two companies, one area where they did compete was in storage. So I’ll be looking to see how the Dell and EMC products which are in conflict (mostly in the mid-market) are rationalized and how customers on the platforms to be discontinued will be taken care of. Both firms had strong reputations with regard to customer care, and EMC was strongest. This bodes well for firms on the discontinued platforms, but I still would like to know the details.
