We Have as High as 50% of the Addressable Market
SME Channels|January 2017
With Blue Coat acquired merging with Symantec, there is expected to be a lot of integration in the cards and how is it going on, whether the company can be ready for action by March 2017 so that they can begin the new year with a pump. We spoke to Sanjay Rohatgi, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific and Japan, Symantec at Symantec Partner Conference, Tokyo during early November, 2016. Excerpts…
We Have as High as 50% of the Addressable Market

How the Integration is going on so far? 

We are attacking the integration from four perspectives. One is the product integration. Within 2-3 months we have already integrated a lot of products. We have a roadmap for the integration of more and more. There are some products which we cannot integrate because those are stand alone in nature. The other thing is the workforce integration and we are in the planning stage right now. Every six regions, including India, we are in the process of combining the two teams and working on what is the best structure that we can put in place. So, we will be very much ready for FY 18. What we have done in the interim is that we have created some incentives for our sales teams for making sure that we can cross sell and the customers get the best benefits out of it. Real-estate integration is going very well, which is an important part of it. What is happening is that 8 out of 10 Blue Coat employees are moving to Symantec offices. The other one is IT systems integration, where we are looking at the best of the breed. So, we have already made the decisions and we are moving ahead in that direction as well. The whole ideas is that by March 2017 all the four integration is perfectly done. Having been through a lot of integration in my past career, I think it is going smoothly up until now.
