Mark Levitt, an analyst with Strategy Analytics, says given the pending discussion about the company's potential buyout and plans to go private, many initiatives within the company may be "in a holding pattern." Some aspects of
Dell's strategy have been successful, such as the
Dell Boomi cloud, which focuses on integrations between private and cloud based resources, but any new initiatives are likely being examined very carefully. Given that OpenStack is still a developing technology, it wouldn't be surprising for
Dell to take a more conservative approach compared to an aggressive one on that front, he says.

Dell's board predicted another year of lacklustre growth in 2014, and an adviser, the Boston Consulting Group, concluded that several acquisitions "had yielded far lower returns" than management anticipated. .
"These transformations are difficult and take a while, but they have the assets to do it," said Maynard Um, an analyst at Wells Fargo Securities. "It makes more sense to go private. Being a private company out of the public eye, if they have to get aggressive on pricing to win strategic accounts and accelerate R&D spending, they can do it without scrutiny."

Chief Pulse Comment by Brian T Gladden
The Texas based manufacturer said revenues from the sale of desktop PCs, tablets, and third party software slumped nine per cent to $8.9bn (£5.83bn) for the first quarter ending 3 May, on weak demand.
"We have taken actions to improve our competitive position in key areas of the business, especially in end user computing, and it has affected profitability," Dell chief financial officer Brian Gladden said. Total revenue fell two per cent to $14.1bn, fostering a 51 per cent slide in net income excluding certain items to $372m. The sales fall will add weight to chief executive Michael
Dell's argument that the company needs to turn away from its traditional PC business into a higher margin software company, a move that has paid off for IBM.
