El...The pieces are present at CPQ ... my post yesterday... Is it possible that Pfeiffer's failure to harmoniously link the individual entities of the strategy was part of the problem? A proper risk analysis would have given indications. The trio or new CEO has to link the chain of individual stratgies, that CPQ has presently, and create a synergy among them. When the chain is broken even successful individual strategies and actions are turned into meaningless entities in achieving the overall objective. If one values the entities then it is even more frustrating to see the CPQ stock at present levels....in these tech rallies. Loki

Yeah, but if they don't know to leverage all that so it translates into increased revs, earnings and shareholder value, what good is it???? K

Digital's Alpha has long been suprior in performance and Alta Vista has always been a superior search engine, but Nobody bought Digital stuff, and advertisers dont want to advertise on Alta Vista. Alta Vista is not a very attractive site nor is it very consumer friendly. People dont go there to look at differnt categories like Yahoo. People go there for a specific search. Thats why journalists like it so much.... And those aren't the people to buy Furby from EBAY.. CPQ acquired DEC's technology, but somehow also managed inherit their inability to market their technical expertise. What a shock.
