M&A The HP Way – Why the Autonomy deal was doomed, and what can’t be done to save HP

M&A The HP Way – Why the Autonomy deal was doomed, and what can’t be done to save HP

By Josh Greenbaum on November 28, 2012

The latest debacle at Hewlett-Packard involving the allegations of accounting wrong-doing at Autonomy make for a particularly sticky wicket for CEO Meg Whitman. While there have been some attempts to blame her predecessor, Léo Apotheker, for the decision to buy Autonomy, it’s impossible for Whitman to avoid taking ultimate responsibility for the deal. And when […]

Making HP Matter Before It’s Too Late

Making HP Matter Before It’s Too Late

By Josh Greenbaum on August 16, 2012

It’s a sad day when the bar is set so low that a company’s most successful endeavor in recent memory involves a new slogan and ad campaign tied to the Olympics, and the best news to date is that it won a lawsuit it should never have had to engage in. Such is the state of Hewlett-Packard today, a […]

HP Self Destruction Fully Implemented

HP Self Destruction Fully Implemented

By Jeff Nolan on September 22, 2011

This is a devastating expose on the dysfunctional upper echelon at HP: “The company is coming apart at the seams,” said one person familiar with H.P.’s operations. “Because they may or may not be selling the PC business, the enterprise side is completely frozen. The business customers who buy tens of thousands of these machines […]

Monkey Business @ HP

Monkey Business @ HP

By Zoli Erdos on September 21, 2011

Bloomberg reports the HP Board is considering replacing CEO Leo Apotheker after less then a year tenure… poor Leo, after this and his previous gig as SAP CEO where he lasted 10 months, he might as well specialize on 10-month “turnaround” gigs.
But it would be naive to think Leo could have initiated …

HP + Autonomy is Unlikely

By Jeff Nolan on August 19, 2011

There was an active Enterprise Irregulars discussion on HP the last couple of days, which then caused me consider how HP could pull it off. I don’t see how HP can do the deal for $10b in cash when that is all the cash they have and it’s looking like their debt is going to […]

You Don’t Know HP….Yet

You Don’t Know HP….Yet

By Josh Greenbaum on April 26, 2011

It’s been a little more than a month since HP’s new CEO, Léo Apotheker, stood up in front of financial and industry analysts and laid bare his plans for the new HP he inherited from the muck and mire of Mark Hurd’s untimely departure. In that month the economy has continued its recovery, and HP’s […]

I want one of those cute energy dashboards IBM and HP are touting for my home

By Tom Raftery on March 13, 2011

Above is a screenshot of one of the slides from HP’s webinar announcing their new Energy and Sustainability Management solution. What is most interesting about it for me is that, front and center there is a focus on Facilities and Buildings. We have already seen that IBM has identified Smarter Buildings as one of the […]
