I am always skeptical of big technology companies when they pose programs that sound like “tech for good” and I do extra levels of research to get underneath the motive and gauge trust. Maybe it is my Midwest upbringing or maybe it’s having been an executive for over 20 years at tech companies that elicits …

Today, I watched a 60 Minutes segment by Lesley Stahl on Amazon about the working conditions at its wide array of sites across the country. I thought it was classic 60 Minutes, starting off with a theory and then showing only what it can fit in 13 minutes that validates the show’s preconceived point of view. …

Every month HPE’s independent analyst council, of which I am a part of, gets together to discuss a special topic.

Some news outlets here and here have reported that Amazon is “winning” from the COVID-19 crisis. These reporters suggest that Amazon is set up to profit from peoples’ needs like online shopping, media entertainment streaming, and whole foods, while they are legally obligated to stay at home. I want to make the argument, based on the company’s recent earning, …

Coronavirus has turned the world upside down, disrupting businesses, workers, and our healthcare system in ways never before seen in our lifetimes. As a tech analyst, one silver lining I’ve seen in the way things have unfolded over the last few months is the way many tech companies have really stepped up to address these …

It’s an understatement to say that the COVID-19 outbreak is putting a strain on business. Throughout the country and world, people are being told to stay home, and aside from businesses deemed “essential” (e.g. groceries, pharmacies, and liquor stores) pretty much everything else is closed indefinitely. The government has swooped in with the Paycheck Protection …

Last week, HPE announced that HPE Financial Services (HPEFS) is offering $2 billion in financing and new programs for customers and partners who are taking a considerable hit in the quarantine and beyond. In the past few weeks and into the rest of the month, companies are moving employees to WFH, revenue is going to …
One of the companies that have really caught my eye over the last few years is ON Semiconductor. After spinning out from Motorola in 1999, I believe the company distinguished itself with its portfolio of power and signal management, discrete, logic and other custom technology across a variety of industries. Of late, though, it has …
COVID-19 has affected every part of the tech industry. From the manufacturing of products and the use of services to the way company employees work. Thank God we have these companies because they have done a tremendous job of coming together to fight this epidemic. We hear a lot in the news of COVID-19’s impact …
I had the chance to attend Zoho’s annual analyst day which it held in Austin, TX, a few months back. I have been remiss in writing this up, but honestly, COVID19 and a few other things got in the way of knocking it out. Rather than give my readers a specific take on what I …

Before the proverbial “you know what” hit the fan with COVID-19, AMD hosted the company’s 2020 Financial Analyst Day at its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. I am ridiculously tardy in getting this out, but to be honest, I don’t know too many who would have read it. Historically, the event has been used to recap AMD’s financial growth, communicate financial …

Data never dies. Its lifecycle extends from creation through a never-ending stream of business cycles. At the same time, enterprises are swimming in data that ranges broadly from customer-generated information, financial transactions, edge-generated data, and even operational IT server logs. Understanding how to mine an organization’s data for maximum impact, securely and in compliance with a …

One of the more interesting behind-the-scenes sagas of the past several years has been that of Qualcomm versus the FTC, in which the latter has attempted to make the, in my opinion, flimsy case that the former is a monopolist who suppressed competitors in the wireless chip market. Specifically, the FTC sought to prove that …

HPE is a company that I follow very closely. The infrastructure, edge and now hybrid cloud company has really differentiated itself over the past several years with its very serious approach to infrastructure security (see more background here if interested), which, for HPE, starts all the way down at the hardware level. HPE was an early pioneer …
