Today we announced the selection of Veritas Technologies Corporation as the new name for the standalone information management (IM) company that will be created following the completion of the separation we announced in October. We’re thrilled to bring back and build on the respected Veritas brand, a name that so many of our employees, partners and customers associate with the IM portfolio and its industry-leading solutions in information availability and information intelligence. While the new name acknowledges the heritage of these solutions, the new logo signals a transformed company ready to help organizations better utilize their information to build business productivity today and tomorrow.
The new logo design was influenced by the concepts of open, heterogeneous technologies that are required to harness the power of information, principles that are core to the future strategy of the new Veritas Technologies Corporation.
Because Veritas remains a part of Symantec until the separation is complete, we will not immediately launch a brand campaign but gradually introduce brand assets until Veritas becomes a public company and the branding can be completed. Yesterday we introduced the name and logo to our employees throughout the world and will now be referring to our information management business as the Veritas business.
As many of you know, I came to the Symantec board through the Veritas acquisition a decade ago. Given my career history in the storage business, I am particularly enthused about the re-birth of the Veritas name in the industry and the possibilities for its future.
The unprecedented growth of information has created additional costs, risks and levels of complexity for our customers. Looking forward from this important milestone, the new Veritas Technologies Corporation is focused on delivering the insight and availability that will help organizations mitigate these challenges and derive increased value from their information.
