Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +3.8%) has sold its ProgrammableWeb unit, originally acquired in 2010, to startup MuleSoft for an undisclosed sum. Alcatel bought ProgrammableWeb, owner of a giant repository of Web software/service APIs and a related community, with the goal of forming stronger ties with Web developers, and thereby creating a bigger ecosystem for its enterprise hardware/software. But the business largely proved a sideshow for the company, which has been hungry to cut costs. Alcatel's Q1 report is due Friday morning. [View news story]

wall street Greek does not give up on trying to destroy Alu and bring it down with his pen, the power of influncing people with words any one with Brain, should know that the 1st Q will not be that great, since there are restructuring going on and ALU must pay severence package for exectives and employees that lost their jobs if ALU intended to cut costs by 750 million$ this year, so, they will spend about the same amount or a bit more up to 1 billion $ to reach this saving so, the 1st Q results may not be that good in that sense, but the saving will show on Q2, Q3, Q4 along with revenu from Routers and IP, Light radio, patent and other new prouduct and software like SDN so, Mr. wall street Greek spar us your negativness ALU may recover if they clean thier houe, get red of parasites and insiders and reporters who are working to destroy ALu

Good article George, and yes the management must act Fast when Alu announced that Michel Combes was selected as a new CEO to be appointed on april 1st, it was mentioned that he is not wasting no time and working with executives and partners to form his strategy and he commented that the situation is urgent and ALU must act fast, all of a sudden after April 1st, michel Combes announced that he will need time (till end of June 2013) to come up with a plan on one side he said, it is urgent we must act fast, on the other side he started wasting time and hiding, that does not sound good to me
michel combes must clean the house, it is very clear that ALU's management is corrupted or incompetent, sucking the company resources and destroying ALU (knowingly), Michel Combes has 2 options 1- to get ride of the same people who hired him or 2- to join them and work a plan that looks good but not good enough to produce good results (= help to kill ALU and walk away with big bonus as Mike Zafirovski did with Nortel) i hope i am wrong but most likly he is already infected (working to please the board = distroy ALU) George, what you said is absolutely True ALU announced many (as they call it disruptive) products, non of them has brought considerable cash.whom to blam?
the problem with ALU is INSIDE ALU not the market condition, not the economy, not the French Gov., all Telecoms companies like Cisco Ericson, Nokia, the Chinese are facing the same market conditions, and they still make a profit some people within ALU are sucking ALU's resources, those are people who has high pay, and expenses account, they get bonus for performing poorly

the problem is with ALu's management, they pretend that they are working towards a solution, but in reality it is not true, the fact that they did not did not start to cut jobs when they had the cash to do it, they did not start the job cut when NSN announced 17,000 job cut, they waited one whole year to drain the max cash possible and put ALu down as deep in the whole as much as possible then they announced a job Cut, how many? 5,500 this is not a serious cost cutting, it is roughly only 7% of the work force 5,500 compared to NSN 17,000 job cut, it is about 30%, it is not serious and again, it is just to show that they are trying hard, you bet trying hard to kill ALU Talking about difficult condition in Europe, how come NSN did not have problem to Cut jobs, How come Ericson did not have problems to cut jobs, ALU management are either incompetent or working purposely against ALU and in both cases, results are the same Talking about difficult market condition in Europe, it is the same market condition for all the telecoms companies, Ericson, NSN, Chinese companies and ALU we had enough of excuses and false promises, this is the same story as Nortel story they wanted to kill nortel for the benefit of Ciena, Cisco, Avaia and others, and they succeeded they are doing the same to ALU they do it not as a fare competition in the market, but form the inside, getting Corrupted top Management to do the job for them, to purposly make the wrong decsions and drain the company resourses, ask mike Z. x Nortel CEO Now, if Michel Combes is a true leader with integrity, ALU will survive, if he is corrupted as the Board who hired him, then it is very clear that ALU will follow Nortel i am still Long ALU

yes, brucelee1984, Tuffano has been CFO of ALU for so many years, Tuffano has done absolutely nothing to address Alu's financial problems and shows no Care or professionalism when addressed by reporters or share holder, he is not qualified as CFO and should be let go (with no compensations) for failing to fulfill his tasks those guys are sucking ALU resources and driving Alu down i Hope Combes will clean the house and get rid of all corrupted individuals

the problem with Alu has been the management, they drag on and on for many years draining the company from its cash, if they were share holders or owners of alcatel, they would have act fast to fix the financial problems, but they get paid it does not matter what, the pay keeps on coming along with bounces and free launches, business class travel, Gulf and parties, so, they really do not care. if they new CEO is honest and act with integrity, Alu will come back, if he join the corrupted old management (= get manipulated by old management like tuffano, camus and others, which is more likly to happen) alu will have a hard time it is a sad story

any one with Brain, should know that the 1st Q will not be that great, since there are restructuring going on and ALU must pay severence package for exectives and employees that lost their jobs
if ALU intended to cut costs by 750 million$ this year, so, they will spend about the same amount or a bit more up to 1 billion $ to reach this saving
so, the 1st Q results may not be that good in that sense, but the saving will show on Q2, Q3, Q4
along with revenu from Routers and IP, Light radio, patent and other new prouduct and software like SDN
so, Mr. wall street Greek spar us your negativness
ALU may recover if they clean thier houe, get red of parasites and insiders and reporters who are working to destroy ALu

michel combes must clean the house, it is very clear that ALU's management is corrupted or incompetent, sucking the company resources and destroying ALU (knowingly),
Michel Combes has 2 options
1- to get ride of the same people who hired him
or
2- to join them and work a plan that looks good but not good enough to produce good results (= help to kill ALU and walk away with big bonus as Mike Zafirovski did with Nortel)
i hope i am wrong
but
most likly he is already infected (working to please the board = distroy ALU)
George, what you said is absolutely True
ALU announced many (as they call it disruptive) products, non of them has brought considerable cash.whom to blam?
the problem with ALU is INSIDE ALU not the market condition, not the economy, not the French Gov., all Telecoms companies like Cisco Ericson, Nokia, the Chinese are facing the same market conditions, and they still make a profit
some people within ALU are sucking ALU's resources, those are people who has high pay, and expenses account, they get bonus for performing poorly

then they announced a job Cut, how many? 5,500 this is not a serious cost cutting, it is roughly only 7% of the work force
5,500 compared to NSN 17,000 job cut, it is about 30%, it is not serious and again, it is just to show that they are trying hard, you bet trying hard to kill ALU
Talking about difficult condition in Europe, how come NSN did not have problem to Cut jobs, How come Ericson did not have problems to cut jobs, ALU management are either incompetent or working purposely against ALU and in both cases, results are the same
Talking about difficult market condition in Europe, it is the same market condition for all the telecoms companies, Ericson, NSN, Chinese companies and ALU
we had enough of excuses and false promises,
this is the same story as Nortel story
they wanted to kill nortel for the benefit of Ciena, Cisco, Avaia and others, and they succeeded
they are doing the same to ALU
they do it not as a fare competition in the market, but form the inside, getting Corrupted top Management to do the job for them, to purposly make the wrong decsions and drain the company resourses, ask mike Z. x Nortel CEO
Now, if Michel Combes is a true leader with integrity, ALU will survive, if he is corrupted as the Board who hired him, then it is very clear that ALU will follow Nortel
i am still Long ALU
