Setting the Record Straight: the After-life of an Article. Oracle, HP, SAP, Journalism, Conflict of Interest–You Name it.

By Zoli Erdos on October 12, 2010

On HP hiring Leo Apotheker as its new CEO, and the Ray Lane Manoeuvre

By James Governor on October 7, 2010

HP Hires Apotheker as CEO, not sure what else to say about that.

By Michael Fauscette on October 1, 2010

My mom always said, "if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all." I spent the last day and a half debating whether to write about this story at all. I mean Wall Street said plenty as the…

SAHP?  Stranger things have happened

SAHP? Stranger things have happened

By Phil Fersht on September 30, 2010

With Leo Apotheker taking the helm at HP, all sorts of questions arise as to why they hired a software guy, who wasn’t exactly a wild success when he was top dog at SAP. Leo is the man you’d want if you are planning to acquire SAP. He knows the compa…

HP Joins the Enterprise Software Market: Léo Apotheker Becomes CEO

HP Joins the Enterprise Software Market: Léo Apotheker Becomes CEO

By Josh Greenbaum on September 30, 2010

It looks like HP really wants to be a player in the enterprise software market after all,  and avoid the fate of Sun and others before it.

CEO Musical Chairs

CEO Musical Chairs

By Zoli Erdos on September 30, 2010

<quick rant, not qualified analysis, don’t read much into it> So Leo Apotheker got HP.  Or did HP get Leo?  Either way, the former SAP CEO has just been named as the future savior of  HP.  Great pick.  HP’s troops have never been more demoralized, and Leo has a lot of experience with demoralized troops.  […]
