3087.0. "Dennis Roberson resigns " by IOSG::BILSBOROUGH (SWBFS) Thu May 19 1994 19:47

    
    I have just been sent some mail which originated from Dennis Roberson,
    apparently he has resigned to go to NCR.
    
    So what effect do people think this will have on software in Digital.
    Is this the sign that we are pulling out of software or a sign that
    we're changing for the better?

    Hasn't Demmer just been put over all non OS software that Roberson
    owned?   This seems sort of expected.
                        
3087.2I'm optimisticASABET::SILVERBERGMark Silverberg MLO1-3/H20Fri May 20 1994 07:329
    I am optimistic that Bill Demmer, now responsible for software
    engineering, product management & product marketing, will restructure
    the business to properly position and promote our own software
    products and leadership with those of our software partners.  We can't
    and won't do everything for everyone, and need to have a truly open
    view of software.

Roberson's sphere of influence shrank a while ago.  I'm surprised he stayed
this long.
