Intel has announced a broad re-organisation focusing all
its major product groups to support the development of complete
technology platforms that rely on Intel components and
software.
In addition, two new divisions have been created to address
growing opportunities in the digital healthcare market and to serve
Intel's worldwide distribution channel.
Intel said it first provided customers with a solution based
fully on Intel components and software - such as microprocessors,
chipsets, communications chips, base software capabilities, and
other enabling tools - with the 2003 introduction of the Intel
Centrino mobile technology, used in laptops.
The announcement also sees the establishment of three main
groups covering mobility, the digital enterprise and digital home,
all following this example.
Intel said the platform-based organisations it has created
reflect the ongoing convergence of computing and communications by
incorporating both capabilities across the new groups.
"Intel is putting the people and resources in place to sharpen
our focus on the development of platforms that meet the demands of
our customers and provide innovative and exciting new technologies
for the marketplace," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and chief
operating officer.
