Broadcom chief executive officer (CEO) Hock Tan recently announced that the company‘s initial focus with its newly acquired VMware will be to develop partnerships rather than focus on research and development.
Tan said that the company‘s goal is to create “opportunities for partners to collaborate with VMware and Broadcom to serve the needs of our customers and accelerate the growth of the business.” He went on to say that the company is committed to investing in VMware‘s existing technology platforms and will focus on “growing the ecosystem of partners“ that have the technology and resources to help customers maximize their VMware investments.
Broadcom is looking to expand VMware‘s partner base and create new partnerships with key players in the industry in order to leverage the company‘s existing strengths and take advantage of new opportunities.
