The two companies decided to merge to improve on their market due to stiff competition from other firms.

From Joe Tucci, who is EMC Corp. CEO, stated,

”Dell will provide EMC a great channel to sell its products since for many products Dell is the largest reseller to many vendors. This will favor the sales of EMC products in general. The members that are actively involved in these companies include Morgan Stanley who served as lead financial advisor to EMC while JPMorgan who also served as lead financial advisor to Dell and Silver Lake. The companies that will provide debt include Barclays, BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, Goldman, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Sachs and Co. (insert citation)”

From Based on the Cchapter 6 materials, there are five important generic strategies that a company can use to attack its competitors; EMC Corp. has used some of the offensive strategy options to boost its products by making use of another company, Dell Inc. Amazon, being a data storage firm, of data storage provides stiff competition to EMC Corp. and to attach attack it, EMC Corp. was to getdecided to get involved withinvolved to a vendor company, which will assist in product promotionpromoting its products.

Since EMC Corp. realized that being a fast mover will enable it to gain a competitive advantage, it did not hesitate in to collaborateing with Dell Company Inc. despite of Dell Company Inc.’s benefiting gaining more from their deal of mergingthe merger. Also, to improve its competitive advantage, EMC Corp. has fully managed to supply its connectivity services, including such as global infrastructure field support centers, teleports, and satellites’ capacity. It has also completely suite the industry’sies communications solutions by combining GIS, on the site system. In addition, GIS support centers and technical teams are factors that has broaden the EMC Corp.’s strategic energy hubs where they are located worldwide: where it’s located in Oslo and Stavanger , Norway, Scotland, Houston, Texas, UK, Brazil, and West Africa.

Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Why did you give a state here? Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Why did you give an area of a continent here? For consistency these should all be countries.

Other Another EMC Corp. strategy y used by EMC Company to strengthen its position was through cloud transformation from IT. This has helped the company to enable its userusers to reduce on hardware costs and make it simple to store data online and in any movable application. This will enable EMC company’s Corp.’s customers to realize the benefit of a public cloud, which will lead to growth of in service provisions. that givesThe growth will lead to highly specialized services for a particular industyindustry, application from a their cloud data center. This is toThe goal in this strategy is to bring customers to achieve their mission of leading customers into hybrid cloud computing. Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Has this already happened?

The deal between Messrs Dell and Tucci was meant tointended to strengthen Dell’s business of selling of computer infrastructure to Companies companies instead of PC and also get in touchto make connections with the developing development of IT industry. Traditionally, storage devices, servers, and networking equipment were brought separately, but currently they are offered in integrated bundles by one vender, that which saves customers from tedious work., thisThis trend has been pioneered by EMC Corp. in a joint venture with Cisco, which is a big highly recognized networking gear. Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Clarify this. Instead of selling PCs? Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Is this what you meant? Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers:

However, theMany are questioning if big question is thiswhether the merger will trigger a flurry of other deals. The deconstruction and reconstruction of the IT industry has already begun since the full-scale consolidation is not pending. HP which is Aanother Computer computer seller, HP, has already made the decision to split itself in two on soon. Also, early this year, Oracle was revealed as a potential buyer of Salesforce.com, which is a big provider of web-based business software. Comment by Lisa Coleman_DLA Editors_Proofers: Passive writing.

Lastly, the EMC Corp. ventured into transforming big data by allowing customers to gain deeper insight through correlating and analyzing structured and unstructured data or even data from a public source that were once impossible to work out. The company has also identified a simple step to help customers venture into a big data opportunity. Phase one focuses on data storage infrastructure, step phase two which involves people and processes for analyzing and interpreting data sets, and the last phase creates which is becoming a predictive enterprise.

Therefore, from thein this deal between the two Companiescompanies, it’s it is clear that both of them benefit from one another. This is the best strategy, which can be used by weak firms to expand their markets and their products in a competitive environment. In this case Dell Inc. has been facing stiff PC-selling competition from companies, suchon selling of PC from other Companies such as Toshiba, HP, and Acer, while EMC Corp. has also been facing competition from Amazon web site. Therefore, it’s a good idea for theTogether both two companies to unitecan better so as to face their competitors.

Document Analysis:

There are several areas that will need clarification, which I point out above. For consistency I made your company names the same throughout the document. Because this reads more like a current event assignment and not a major paper, I could not tell to what extent your professor wanted this to be in APA. I point out any areas that could be adjusted for APA. When going over these notes, you will see that I mentioned the use the passive voice. APA, and most guides, recommend the active voice. For example: Roberts (2015) noted this was the second-largest merger…” vs. “It was noted that this was the second-largest merger.” Usually these can be corrected by being sure to include the subject of your sentence toward the beginning.
