Robert Bosch acquires Innovations

Posted by Mike Haller on Monday, September 8. 2008 at 22:36 in Private
My employer Innovations has been bought by the Robert Bosch Group today. I feel a little bit disoriented right now and i think in the long run, this will be a great opportunity. That's the first time I personally witness a merge between a real-life ("hardware") company like Bosch aquiring a software-only company like Innovations.

On the one hand, i'm happy because I think that Innovations will move on and become even better with the power of Bosch in the back. This could be the birth of some really cool gadgets and technology mixes. On the other hand, it's a large corporation and I don't want to be just a "human resource", struggling against the bureaucracy of such corporations. I'm going to pray to the corporate god that this won't happen to us and we'll stay sovereign, flexible and adaptive.

I hope I don't have to program a washing machine :-)
