Is Apple a one at a time Product Company?
Analysis of:
Apple: Out of Touch With Server Room Needs | www.internetnews.com
This analysis is solely the work of the author. It has not been edited or endorsed by GLG.
Implications: Apple wants to move into the business and enterprize market to have real growth, can they, are they capable, do they have the resources? If not are they a toy company as stated in this article?
Analysis: Apple makes fantastic products, some universities link together 100's of computers to build low cost super computers, etc. But for those of you that have consulted with me you know I have always stated one of the major problems is the lack of depth of engineering. This article calls Apple a toy company and one of the primary reasons is that lack of engineering if needed. Last year when the iPhone was first released, Apple pulled engineers from OS development to work iPhone software issues. The release of iPhone 2 software followed in days by 2.1 shows it was not ready for real release. Once again engineering is not deep. Maybe Apple should stop hording all its cash and hire a few more engineers. Or forget enterprise and keep just making fun great products.
