What will EMC buy next?
That's the big question now isn't it? It's also something people tend to throw out there when they're looking for some juice for a story. Having heard this question asked and having read about it all over the place I'm going to let you in on EMC's acquisition strategy going forward just so the guessing will stop.
EMC is looking to buy half.
That's right folks no matter what it is, even if it doesn't involve information infrastructure, the company will make an offer on half. Cool cars, sunny days, the family pet, EMC wants in for half. Why stop at just the family pet? For the right price it'll buy half of your family.
Yes I'm being glib, but the fact of the matter is that numerous times per month I end up seeing EMC's name attached to all sorts of things and it's usually just wishful thinking. Like little orphan Annie seeing dollar signs when Daddy Warbucks comes rolling into town you can't blame people for trying, but if they spent as much time looking at the integration points of what the company has already bought it would make for more interesting reading.
