(InfoWorld) - Three years after being bought by EMC, VMware is going public.Â EMC announced plans Wednesday to offer 10 percent of its virtualization software subsidiary in an initial public offering (IPO). The offering will "unlock more of VMware's value for EMC shareholders," and help the company "retain and attract the software industry's top talent," EMC Chairman, President, and CEO Joe Tucci said in a statement. "We think now is the point where the planets are aligned and this makes sense," Tucci said on a conference call with financial analysts. WhenÂ EMC acquired VMwareÂ in 2004, it had 300 employees; today it has 3,000, he said. "The growth rate of this company has been phenomenal." EMC plans to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in late March or early April for the planned IPO, and the shares could be available for sale some time in the second quarter, said David Goulden, executive vice president and chief financial officer of EMC. The shares to be put on the market will be new shares, not ones already owned by EMC, Goulden said. The proceeds will "provide VMware with the financial resources it needs to achieve its full growth potential and provide EMC with the potential to return a portion of the original investment in VMware to EMC shareholders, while enabling them to continue to enjoy the vast majority ownership in this strategic and fast-growing business," Goulden said. Virtualization, which allows a server to better run multiple applications simultaneously, has helped businesses reduce the number of servers they need, reduce their energy consumption and assist in data center disaster recovery efforts, said Diane Greene, who founded VMware in 1998. She is president of VMware and executive vice president of EMC. "The IPO is a powerful way for us to accelerate our vision of a pervasive, industry standard virtual infrastructure. We see an incredible opportunity ahead of us," Greene said. More than 10 percent of new x86 server workloads are running on VMware virtualization software, and VMware is used by more than 20,000 customers, Greene said. Analysts have recently speculated on whether EMC would spin off VMware, said Gordon Haff, principal IT advisor with research firm Illuminata Inc. "EMC wants to get some of the money while VMware is clearly a hot property," he said. "On the other hand, they clearly want to retain a very large chunk of VMware." EMC's stock (EMC) has been stuck in the $10 to $15 range for the last three years. The IPO was announced after the New York Stock Exchange closed for the day. In after-hours trading, EMC shares rose $0.91 to $14.55. Tucci's comments about unlocking VMware's value "might be less politely phrased as 'hopefully getting the shareholders off my butt,'" Haff said. VMware is an early leader in one of the IT industry's hottest market segments. The company's revenue was up 83 percent in 2006, totalling $709 million, EMC said. The IPO should generate capital for VMware to invest in innovation, said Allan Krans, an analyst with Technology Business Research. Although VMware is the industry leader in server virtualization software, MicrosoftÂ is expected to introduce an update of its Microsoft Virtual Server in the fourth quarter of 2007, which could increase competitive pressure on VMware.

It&#39;s been a bit more than two years since Ambuj Goyal launched IBM&#39;s Information on Demand strategy, an effort by the company to bring together a virtual menagerie of data management, access, and analysis software under a single heading.Goyal, general manager of information management in IBM&#39;s Software Group, has driven the effort partly through a seemingly relentless series of acquisitions.One of IBM&#39;s highest-profile grabs is undoubtedly its&#160;pending deal to purchase business intelligence vendor Cognos for $5 billion. It&#39;s also bought niche companies such as&#160;Solid Information Technology, a company that makes an in-memory database, and&#160;Princeton Softech, a data archiving firm.A central pillar in the strategy is IBM&#39;s Information Server, released in October. It is an integration platform for combining data from a variety of heterogenous sources.The company has yet to develop its own packaged enterprise applications, choosing to tackle that lucrative business through partnerships. Instead, IBM&#39;s goal is to become the leading supplier of a data infrastructure designed to make those applications more effective.IBM&#39;s core target remains large enterprises faced with an avalanche of business data, and there is plenty of opportunity here, according to IT analyst Judith Hurwitz: &quot;I think we&#39;re just scratching the surface of what companies want to do.&quot;For example, she said, &quot;Companies have to do [RFID tags] because companies like Wal-Mart insist upon it. They&#39;ve got all this RFID data, and they&#39;re not doing anything with it. The question is, is there a way they can actually start using that RFID data to make better business decisions?&quot;Goyal and his teams might tell you that they&#39;re trying their best to answer that question. In a recent interview at IBM&#39;s Somers, New York, facility, the executive painted his IOD strategy as a roaring success, yet one still in its earliest stages.IDGNS: From a business standpoint, how has the Information on Demand strategy played out so far?Goyal: It couldn&#39;t be better. The success ... has helped not only the information management software, but the Software Group and IBM as a company.... The Cognos acquisition alone is $5 billion. We would not be allowed to do that, the shareholders and board would not allow us to do that, unless we had made a return on our investment.IDGNS: You&#39;ve assembled a dramatic array of data-centric technologies but still aren&#39;t in the packaged ERP, CRM application business. Why?Goyal: Our strategy remains that we are not in the ERP, CRM space. We are not in the applications business, of that kind. There is the market for automation and the market for optimization. Automation is about having an application agenda. I either build custom applications with COBOL or Java, or I do packaged applications, or I do [service-oriented architecture] to say, &#39;I already have applications, let me get a combined application or composite application.&#39;That&#39;s a market for consolidation now. That&#39;s not where the growth is. What a lot of people are saying now is, &#39;Hey I&#39;ve automated the call center, can I improve my per-customer profitability?&#39; It&#39;s not about automation, it&#39;s about optimizing my business, and that&#39;s all about leveraging information.Even in China, the automation market is saturated. Everywhere, we are seeing the automation market is saturating. There are a lot of projects going on in automation, don&#39;t get me wrong. But in that market, people have made their decisions. Now people are saying, how can I optimize?We don&#39;t do supply chain software, but we make supply chain software better. We don&#39;t do core banking, but we make core banking better. That&#39;s the optimization market. It&#39;s a multi-tens-of-billions-of-dollars&#39; worth of market. That&#39;s where the world is starting to go.IDGNS: So who are you competing with?Goyal: It&#39;s not who, but what segment. All these companies have become very, very big. When we work with HP, some of IBM&#39;s business provides services and software on HP&#39;s hardware, and our hardware business competes with HP. Same thing with databases: We fight against Oracle. But when we work with Siebel and Peoplesoft, we work with Oracle.IDGNS:&#160;Microsoft just made an offer for Fast Search and Transfer, a high-end, pureplay enterprise search vendor. They clearly see it as a growth business. How important is search within the IOD strategy?Goyal: Search to me is an ingredient technology. People don&#39;t buy search. People buy improved interaction with a client. [Search] is an ingredient technology that helps me solve a particular problem. People tell me Yahoo and Google are in the search business. They&#39;re not, they&#39;re in the advertising business. Search is just an ingredient technology that they use. With everything we do in Information on Demand ... search will be one of the ingredient technologies to leverage structured information and unstructured information.IDGNS: Are you done buying companies?Goyal: If history is an indication of what we have done over the past seven years, we can predict the future. You can answer your own question as to whether I&#39;m done buying companies.We are now in the optimization space, where two decades ago the world was in the automation space. When JD Edwards came out, when the first sense of ERP started to emerge, and so on.We feel from a basic truth perspective we are in the best position. We now have information integration, master data management, we have BI, data warehousing, databases, content management, we have search.But the journey of optimization has just begun. It will take us in ways we don&#39;t understand, even today. We are going after information on demand in real time. Sub-second, sub-millisecond response times to a question asked in a call center and delivering information just in time to optimize a business process or a human decision. So this is a two-decade journey.

(InfoWorld) - EMC and Microsoft are substantially stepping up their existing enterprise content management (ECM) relationship to provide tighter integration between EMC's Documentum ECM software and Microsoft's Office, Outlook, and SharePoint products. As part of the expanded relationship announced Tuesday, EMC's Documentum will support Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 database later this quarter, according to John McCormick, vice president of product management, content management software at EMC EMC also plans to bring out two services designed to link Documentum and Microsoft software content and archiving, he said. The two services are set to debut early in the first quarter of 2007 as Microsoft releases SharePoint Server 2007. EMC expects to release pricing for the two services -- EMC Documentum Content Services for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 and EMC Documentum Archive Services for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 later this year. The idea is to have Microsoft software as the front-end for Documentum software as a way to increase the number of users of EMC's products and give more Microsoft customers easier access to complex ECM functionality. It's the same strategy Microsoft is adopting with a number of applications partners, notably with SAP around the Duet product, said Rob Bernard, general manager of Microsoft's global independent software vendor team.Â Formerly known as Project Mendocino, Duet was jointly developed by Microsoft and SAP to let users access data and processes from SAP's back-end business applications via Microsoft's front-end desktop Office software suite. "This is the culmination of a vision we've been working on for a number of years," Bernard said. "It's about unifying the front end with the back end that the casual user needs to interact with in ECM, ERP, and CRM." Using the upcoming Documentum archive services, users can manually or automatically flow content from SharePoint repositories to a Documentum repository while enabling users to access and search the content from the SharePoint Server 2007 software. Archiving SharePoint content in Documentum should help companies in meeting compliance regulations, McCormick said. Unlike Duet, the services are only being offered by EMC. The previous ECM relationship between EMC and Microsoft was more reactive than proactive, Bernard said. McCormick agreed. "Before we worked on [Documentum] integration with Office and Outlook 2003," he said. "Microsoft supplied the tools, EMC or our partners built out the solution. This is different. EMC and Microsoft are together." As yet, the two companies aren't working together on Web content management, but that could be a logical next step to further expand their relationship, the executives noted.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.
