Brilliant Leap

Posting your resume on the web? Think again!

Yes, we usually write about ECM and Regulatory Affairs, Documentum, Interwoven, Alfresco, SharePoint, eCTDs and the like, but every once in a while, we have to write about job search "how-tos" , especially when HOW you go about it can put your credit and your security at stake. 

Why do I say that? Because in the past few months job-seeker data has been compromised on both Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com. 

Ketchup or Catch Up?

This is a quickie.

Either EMC is confused, or I am.

I quoted Tom Roloff in my last post as saying, "We're a Hardware Business."

Oh really, if you say so, I thought.

But then...

Buying Rock Stars

By now most of you know that EMC purchased BusinessEdge last week. For those of you who aren't familiar with BusinessEdge, it was a privately held Consulting-Systems Integration firm. EMC's press release defined its value proposition this way;

"With a world-class, blue chip client list and well established multi-year customer relationships within the Fortune 500, BusinessEdge's industry professionals add deep vertical industry thought leadership and business consulting and delivery capabilities in the critical areas of compliance and risk management, business process analysis and improvement, and information management".

EMC also says that the acquisition won't negatively impact its systems integration business partners. I quote: "We're a hardware business," said Tom Roloff, Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at EMC Global Services."We don't do services for services sake. We'd like to see our partners do more." Oh really? Then why has EMC acquired four solution providers in less than two years?
