That writer just doesn't get it. This Babson College case study on EMC provides a compact narrative of computing history that should give one an idea of why competing against EMC on the basis of price or hardware specs or software specs or new pair-of-dimish operating system backbones (file systems) will only have limited success. The true cost of ownership of de-centralized systems was substantially greater than forecast, with total costs often calculated to be three to ten times the cost of acquisition. Additionally, as new applications started to capture the value of corporate data, companies realized the potentially huge opportunity costs of having information scattered throughout an organization. From "EMC Corporation: From Inception through 1998 - The Rise to Market Leadership," Babson College, Case 399-161-1. emc.com Remember, EMC's ROI (Return on Investment) is directly proportional to its customers' ROI (Return On Information). emc.com Example: EMC Software 1995 - $20 million 1998 - $445 million 1999 - $822 million 1H00 - $620 million
