HP Autonomy: Why Do the Deal?
September 30, 2015
I read “If Ray Lane Hated HP’s Autonomy Move So Much, How Did It Happen?”
Darned good question. The article reviews information which suggests that HP chairman was uncomfortable with the tie up. Also, HP’s CFO gave the deal a thumbs down.
According to the article:
Reached for comment an HP spokesperson reiterated that the Autonomy buy had unanimous support from the board.
I assume this is the HP way.
