Palm Advances
Turnaround Strategy.
To bring its resources into alignment with the strategic needs of its
Solutions and Platform businesses, Palm said it would reduce its current
work force by a net of approximately 250 employees and contractors, after
accounting for the planned hiring of additional people with skill sets to
match the future needs of Palm’s Solutions and Platform Solutions groups.
With the completed acquisition of certain Be Incorporated assets, for
example, the Platform Group this month was able to recruit 45 software
engineers and support staff to enhance its future OS roadmap and improve
internal development processes. Activities to make the group a wholly owned
Palm subsidiary are progressing on schedule under the direction of Dave
Nagel, president and chief executive officer of Palm’s Platform Solutions
Group.
