The revenues of the Seagate Software unit are a tiny fraction of the parent company revenues. In other words, the revenues of the Seagate Software unit are mostly important to the people working in that unit, but mostly insignificant to a shareholder of SEG stock. The only way you can benefit from the growth of that unit, in a meaningful way, would be if SEG spun that unit off to its shareholders, or sold stock in the unit in an IPO. But the Seagate Software unit can be used for other purposes as well: bragging rights (look how fast we're growing) /a sales tool for other SEG products /whatever.
