Professional Services is still the big unknown

I think we know some product BUs will go and the others will be thinned out, however Pro Services is the big unknown for me. I can't picture the whole unit going to HCL or something. If Tanzu gets sold off, would the Tanzu portion of Pro Services get cut out to partners? What do the tea leaves say?

And that is part of why this acquisition will fail. Let’s get more brain dead partners to sc--w things up.

PSO is so gone on day 1. BC doesn’t do services in house. Partners 1000%.

Maybe we'll find out next month during the Tanzu Practice Town Hall or the PCS meeting.

Tanzu Labs… don’t make me laugh. Start looking unless you like being piped to /dev/null

Maybe Tanzu Labs should start really focusing on what they get paid to do - play ping pong!

In professional services (Tanzu Labs) and have been wondering what the future will look like...

Don't kid yourself. Broadcom doesn't do Services. What will be retained is Sales Engineering (basically presales) as they need that for the ongoing business. Anything Services related post - sales will not remain with Broadcom. And, btw, Services people at CA thought the same, and look where they all ended up (redundency or HCL).

If a BU gets sold off, everyone belonging to that BU will go with it. So, it would still not remain with BC.
