The name "COMPAQ" was said to be derived from "Compatibility and Quality" but this explanation was an afterthought. The name was chosen from many suggested by <a href="/wiki/Ogilvy_%26_Mather" class="mw-redirect" title="Ogilvy & Mather">Ogilvy & Mather</a>, it being the name least rejected. The first <a href="/wiki/Compaq_Portable" title="Compaq Portable">Compaq PC</a> was sketched out on a placemat by Ted Papajohn while dining with the founders in a pie shop,<a href="#cite_note-scribd1-19">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-21">[18]</a> (named <a href="/wiki/House_of_Pies" title="House of Pies">House of Pies</a> in Houston).

Compaq differentiated its offerings from other <a href="/wiki/IBM_PC_clone" class="mw-redirect" title="IBM PC clone">IBM PC clones</a> by not focusing mainly on price, but instead concentrating on new features such as portability and better technology, at prices comparable to those of IBM's PCs.<a href="#cite_note-bane19881120-23">[20]</a> In contrast to Dell and <a href="/wiki/Gateway_2000" class="mw-redirect" title="Gateway 2000">Gateway 2000</a>, Compaq hired veteran engineers with an average of 15 years experience, which lent credibility to Compaq's reputation of reliability among customers.<a href="#cite_note-entrepreneur1-24">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-britannica1-25">[22]</a> Due to its partnership with <a href="/wiki/Intel" title="Intel">Intel</a>, Compaq was able to maintain a technological lead in the market place as it was the first one to come out with computers containing the next generation of each Intel <a href="/wiki/X86" title="X86">x86</a> processors.<a href="#cite_note-scribd1-19">[16]</a> Under Canion's direction, Compaq sold computers only through dealers to avoid potential competition that a direct sales channel would foster, which helped foster loyalty among resellers. By giving dealers considerable leeway in pricing Compaq's offerings, either a significant markup for more profits or discount for more sales, dealers had a major incentive to advertise Compaq.<a href="#cite_note-entrepreneur1-24">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-britannica1-25">[22]</a> During its first year of sales (second year of operation), the company sold 53,000 PCs for sales of $111 million, the first start-up to hit the $100 million mark that fast. Compaq went public in 1983 on the NYSE and raised $67 million. In 1986, it enjoyed record sales of $329 million from 150,000 PCs, and became the youngest-ever firm to make the <a href="/wiki/Fortune_500" title="Fortune 500">Fortune 500</a>. In 1985, sales reached $504 million.<a href="#cite_note-:0-26">[23]</a> In 1987, Compaq hit the $1 billion revenue mark, taking the least amount of time to reach that milestone.<a href="#cite_note-ezinearticles_com-22">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-entrepreneur1-24">[21]</a> By 1991, Compaq held the fifth place spot in the PC market with $3 billion in sales that year.<a href="#cite_note-27">[24]</a> Two key marketing executives in Compaq's early years, Jim D'Arezzo and Sparky Sparks, had come from <a href="/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer" title="IBM Personal Computer">IBM's PC Group</a>. Other key executives responsible for the company's meteoric growth in the late 1980s and early 1990s were Ross A. Cooley, another former IBM associate, who served for many years as SVP of GM North America; Michael Swavely, who was the company's chief marketing officer in the early years, and eventually ran the North America organization, later passing along that responsibility to Cooley when Swavely retired. In the United States, Brendan A. "Mac" McLoughlin (another long time IBM executive) led the company's field sales organization after starting up the Western U.S. Area of Operations. These executives, along with other key contributors, including Kevin Ellington, Douglas Johns, Steven Flannigan, and Gary Stimac, helped the company compete against the IBM Corporation in all personal computer sales categories, after many predicted that none could compete with the behemoth. The soft-spoken Canion was popular with employees and the culture that he built helped Compaq to attract the best talent. Instead of headquartering the company in a downtown Houston skyscraper, Canion chose a West Coast-style campus surrounded by forests, where every employee had similar offices and no-one (not even the CEO) had a reserved parking spot. At semi-annual meetings, turnout was high as any employee could ask questions to senior managers.<a href="#cite_note-scribd1-19">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-entrepreneur1-24">[21]</a> In 1987, company co-founder Bill Murto resigned to study at a religious education program at the University of St. Thomas.

Cooley, director of corporate sales. Cooley would report to Michael S.

Swavely, president of Compaq's North American division since May 1989, took a six-month sabbatical in January 1991 (which would eventually become retirement effective on July 12, 1991). <a href="/wiki/Eckhard_Pfeiffer" title="Eckhard Pfeiffer">Eckhard Pfeiffer</a>, then president of Compaq International, was named to succeed him. Pfeiffer also received the title of chief operating officer, with responsibility for the company's operations on a worldwide basis, so that Canion could devote more time to strategy.<a href="#cite_note-47">[44]</a> Swavely's abrupt departure in January led to rumors of turmoil in Compaq's executive suite, including friction between Canion and Swavely, likely as Swavely's rival Pfeiffer had received the number two leadership position. Swavely's U.S. marketing organization was losing ground with only 4% growth for Compaq versus 7% in the market, likely due to short supplies of the LTE 386s from component shortages, rivals that undercut Compaq's prices by as much as 35%, and large customers who did not like Compaq's dealer-only policy.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated2-48">[45]</a> Pfeiffer became president and CEO of Compaq later that year, as a result of a boardroom coup led by board chairman <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_M._Rosen" title="Benjamin M.

Pfeiffer was given US$20,000 to start up Compaq Europe<a href="#cite_note-vcfed-50">[47]</a> He started up Compaq's first overseas office in Munich in 1984. By 1990, Compaq Europe was a $2 billion business and number two behind IBM in that region, and foreign sales contributed 54 percent of Compaq's revenues.<a href="#cite_note-51">[48]</a><a href="#cite_note-nytimes.com-52">[49]</a> Pfeiffer, while transplanting Compaq's U.S. strategy of dealer-only distribution to Europe, was more selective in signing up dealers than Compaq had been in the U. S. such that European dealers were more qualified to handle its increasingly complex products.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated2-48">[45]</a> During the 1980s, under Canion's direction Compaq had focused on engineering, research, and quality control, producing high-end, high-performance machines with high profit margins that allowed Compaq to continue investing in engineering and next-generation technology. This strategy was successful as Compaq was considered a trusted brand, while many other IBM clones were untrusted due to being plagued by poor reliability. However, by the end of the eighties many manufacturers had improved their quality and were able to produce inexpensive PCs with off-the-shelf components, incurring none of the R&D costs which allowed them to undercut Compaq's expensive computers.<a href="#cite_note-scribd1-19">[16]</a> Faced with lower-cost rivals such as <a href="/wiki/Dell" title="Dell">Dell</a>, <a href="/wiki/AST_Research" title="AST Research">AST Research</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gateway_2000" class="mw-redirect" title="Gateway 2000">Gateway 2000</a>, Compaq suffered a $71 million loss for that quarter, their first loss as a company, while the stock had dropped by over two-thirds.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-53">[50]</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[51]</a> An analyst stated that "Compaq has made a lot of tactical errors in the last year and a half. They were trend-setters, now they are lagging". Canion initially believed that the 1990s recession was responsible for Compaq's declining sales but insisted that they would recover once the economy improved, however Pfeiffer's observation of the European market noted that it was competition as rivals could match Compaq at a fraction of the cost. Under pressure from Compaq's board to control costs as staff was ballooning at their Houston headquarters despite falling U.S. sales, while the number of non-U.S. employees had stayed constant, Compaq made its first-ever layoffs (1400 employees which was 12% of its workforce) while Pfeiffer was promoted to EVP and COO.<a href="#cite_note-scribd1-19">[16]</a> Rosen and Canion had disagreed about how to counter the cheaper Asian PC imports, as Canion wanted Compaq to build lower cost PCs with components developed in-house in order to preserve Compaq's reputation for engineering and quality, while Rosen believed that Compaq needed to buy standard components from suppliers and reach the market faster. While Canion developed an 18-month plan to create a line of low-priced computers, Rosen sent his own Compaq engineering team to Comdex without Canion's knowledge and discovered that a low-priced PC could be made in half the time and at lower cost than Canion's initiative.<a href="#cite_note-scribd1-19">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-55">[52]</a> Rosen initiated a 14-hour board meeting, and the directors also interviewed Pfeiffer for several hours without informing Canion. At the conclusion, the board was unanimous in picking Pfeiffer over Canion. As Canion was popular with company workers, 150 employees staged an impromptu protest with signs stating "We love you, Rod." and taking out a newspaper ad saying "Rod, you are the wind beneath our wings. We love you."<a href="#cite_note-entrepreneur1-24">[21]</a> Canion declined an offer to remain on Compaq's board<a href="#cite_note-nytimes.com-52">[49]</a> and was bitter about his ouster as he did not speak to Rosen for years, although their relationship became cordial again. In 1999, Canion admitted that his ouster was justified, saying "I was burned out. I needed to leave. He [Rosen] felt I didn't have a strong sense of urgency". Two weeks after Canion's ouster, five other senior executives resigned, including remaining company founder <a href="/wiki/Jim_Harris_(entrepreneur)" title="Jim Harris (entrepreneur)">James Harris</a> as SVP of Engineering. These departures were motivated by an enhanced severance or early retirement, as well as an imminent demotion as their functions were to be shifted to vice presidents.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek.com-56">[53]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Market_ascension">Market ascension</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Compaq&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Market ascension">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Compaq_Presario_425_(31404884663).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Compaq_Presario_425_%2831404884663%29.jpg/220px-Compaq_Presario_425_%2831404884663%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="135" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Compaq_Presario_425_%2831404884663%29.jpg/330px-Compaq_Presario_425_%2831404884663%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Compaq_Presario_425_%2831404884663%29.jpg/440px-Compaq_Presario_425_%2831404884663%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5184" data-file-height="3178" /></a><figcaption>An early-1990s <a href="/wiki/Compaq_Presario" title="Compaq Presario">Compaq Presario</a> <a href="/wiki/All-in-one_computer" title="All-in-one computer">all-in-one</a></figcaption></figure> Under Pfeiffer's tenure as chief executive, Compaq entered the retail computer market with the <a href="/wiki/Compaq_Presario" title="Compaq Presario">Compaq Presario</a> as one of the first manufacturers in the mid-1990s to market a sub-$1000 PC.

However, Pfeiffer saw that the prospects of taking on market leader <a href="/wiki/Hewlett-Packard" title="Hewlett-Packard">Hewlett-Packard</a> (who had 60% market share) was tough, as that would force Compaq to devote more funds and people to that project than originally budgeted.

Rose, who previously ran Compaq's desktop PC division, took over the corporate server business from SVP Gary Stimac who had resigned. Rose had joined Compaq in 1993 from Digital Equipment Corporation where he oversaw the personal computer division and worldwide engineering, while Stimac had been with Compaq since 1982 and was one of the longest-serving executives. Senior Vice-president for North America Ross Cooley announced his resignation effective at the end of 1996. CFO Daryl J. White, who joined the company in January, 1983 resigned in May, 1996 after 8 years as CFO. Michael Winkler, who joined Compaq in 1995 to run its portable computer division, was promoted to general manager of the new PC products group.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes1996-65">[62]</a><a href="#cite_note-businessweek1996-66">[63]</a> Earl Mason, hired from Inland Steel effective in May 1996, immediately made an impact as the new CFO. Under Mason's guidance, Compaq utilized its assets more efficiently instead of focusing just on income and profits, which increased Compaq's cash from $700 million to nearly $5 billion in one year. Additionally, Compaq's return on invested capital (after-tax operating profit divided by operating assets) doubled to 50 percent from 25 percent in that period.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-53">[50]</a> Compaq had been producing the PC chassis at its plant in <a href="/wiki/Shenzhen" title="Shenzhen">Shenzhen</a>, <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">China</a> to cut costs. In 1996, instead of expanding its own plant, Compaq asked a Taiwanese supplier to set up a new factory nearby to produce the mechanicals, with the Taiwanese supplier owning the inventory until it reached Compaq in Houston.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek1996-66">[63]</a> Pfeiffer also introduced a new distribution strategy, to build PCs made-to-order which would eliminate the stockpile of computers in warehouses and cut the components inventory down to two weeks, with the supply chain from supplier to dealer linked by complex software.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes1996-65">[62]</a> Vice-president for Corporate Development Kenneth E. Kurtzman assembled five teams to examine Compaq's businesses and assess each unit's strategy and that of key rivals. Kurtzman's teams recommended to Pfeiffer that each business unit had to be first or second in its market within three years—or else Compaq should exit that line. Also, the company should no longer use profits from high-margin businesses to carry marginally profitable ones, as instead each unit must show a return on investment.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek1996-66">[63]</a> Pfeiffer's vision was to make Compaq a full-fledged computer company, moving beyond its main business of manufacturing retail PCs and into the more lucrative business services and solutions that IBM did well at, such as computer servers which would also require more "customer handholding" from either the dealers or Compaq staff themselves.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes1996-65">[62]</a> Unlike IBM and HP, Compaq would not build up field technicians and programmers in-house as those could be costly assets, instead Compaq would leverage its partnerships (including those with Andersen Consulting and software maker SAP) to install and maintain corporate systems. This allowed Compaq to compete in the "big-iron market" without incurring the costs of running its own services or software businesses.<a href="#cite_note-67">[64]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Compaq_and_SCO_baseball_cap.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Compaq_and_SCO_baseball_cap.jpg/130px-Compaq_and_SCO_baseball_cap.jpg" decoding="async" width="130" height="189" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Compaq_and_SCO_baseball_cap.jpg/195px-Compaq_and_SCO_baseball_cap.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Compaq_and_SCO_baseball_cap.jpg/260px-Compaq_and_SCO_baseball_cap.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2613" data-file-height="3792" /></a><figcaption>Promotional baseball cap showcasing the alliance between Compaq and SCO</figcaption></figure> Most of Compaq's server sales were for systems that would be running Microsoft's <a href="/wiki/Windows_NT" title="Windows NT">Windows NT</a> operating system, and indeed Compaq was the largest hardware supplier for Windows NT.<a href="#cite_note-cnet-1997-68">[65]</a> However, some 20 percent of Compaq servers went for systems that would be running the <a href="/wiki/Unix_operating_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Unix operating system">Unix operating system</a>.<a href="#cite_note-cnet-1997-68">[65]</a> This was exemplified by a strategic alliance formed in 1997 between Compaq and the <a href="/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Operation" title="Santa Cruz Operation">Santa Cruz Operation</a> (SCO), which was known for its server Unix operating system products on Intel-architecture-based hardware.<a href="#cite_note-cnet-1997-68">[65]</a> Compaq was also the largest hardware supplier for SCO's Unix products,<a href="#cite_note-cnet-1997-68">[65]</a> and some 10 percent of Compaq's <a href="/wiki/ProLiant" title="ProLiant">ProLiant</a> servers ran SCO's <a href="/wiki/UnixWare" title="UnixWare">UnixWare</a>.<a href="#cite_note-cnet-1998-69">[66]</a> In January 1998, Compaq was at its height.

However, Digital had struggled during the 1990s, with high operating costs. For nine years, the company had lost money or barely broke even, and had recently refocused itself as a "network solutions company". In 1995, Compaq had considered a bid for Digital but only became seriously interested in 1997 after Digital's major divestments and refocusing on the Internet. At the time of the acquisition, services accounted for 45 percent of Digital's revenues (about $6 billion) and their gross margins on services averaged 34 percent, considerably higher than Compaq's 25% margins on PC sales and also satisfying customers who had demanded more services from Compaq for years. Compaq had originally wanted to purchase only Digital's services business but that was turned down.<a href="#cite_note-cnn.com-74">[71]</a> When the announcement was made, it was initially viewed as a master stroke as it immediately gave Compaq a 22,000 person global service operation to help corporations handle major technological purchases (by 2001 services made up over 20% of Compaq's revenues, largely due to the Digital employees inherited from the merger), in order to compete with IBM. However it was also risky merger, as the combined company would have to lay off 2,000 employees from Compaq and 15,000 from Digital which would potentially hurt morale. Furthermore, Compaq fell behind schedule in integrating Digital's operations, which also distracted the company from its strength in low-end PCs where it used to lead the market in rolling out next-generation systems which let rival <a href="/wiki/Dell" title="Dell">Dell</a> grab market share.<a href="#cite_note-scribd1-19">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-75">[72]</a> Reportedly Compaq had three consulting firms working to integrate Digital alone.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek1999-76">[73]</a> However, Pfeiffer had little vision for what the combined companies should do, or indeed how the three dramatically different cultures could work as a single entity, and Compaq struggled from strategy indecisiveness and lost focus, as a result being caught in between the low end and high end of the market.<a href="#cite_note-77">[74]</a> Mark Anderson, president of Strategic News Service, a research firm based in Friday Harbor, Wash. was quoted as saying, "The kind of goals he had sounded good to shareholders – like being a $50 billion company by the year 2000, or to beat I.B.M. – but they didn't have anything to do with customers. The new C.E.O. should look at everything Eckhard acquired and ask: did the customer benefit from that. If the answer isn't yes, they should get rid of it." On one hand, Compaq had previously dominated the PC market with its price war but was now struggling against <a href="/wiki/Dell" title="Dell">Dell</a>, which sold directly to buyers, avoiding the dealer channel and its markup, and built each machine to order to keep inventories and costs at a minimum.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek1999-76">[73]</a> At the same time, Compaq, through its acquisitions of the Digital Equipment Corporation in 1998 and Tandem Computers in 1997, had tried to become a major systems company, like IBM and Hewlett-Packard. While IBM and HP were able generate repeat business from corporate customers to drive sales of their different divisions, Compaq had not yet managed to make its newly acquired sales and services organizations work as seamlessly.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-78">[75]</a><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceC-79">[76]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Ouster_of_Pfeiffer">Ouster of Pfeiffer</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Compaq&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Ouster of Pfeiffer">edit</a>]</div> In early 1998, Compaq had the problem of bloated PC inventories. By summer 1998, Compaq was suffering from product-quality problems. Robert W. Stearns, SVP of Business Development, said "In [Pfeiffer's] quest for bigness, he lost an understanding of the customer and built what I call empty market share—large but not profitable", while Jim Moore, a technology strategy consultant with GeoPartners Research in Cambridge, Mass., says Pfeiffer "raced to scale without having economies of scale." The "colossus" that Pfeiffer built up was not nimble enough to adapt to the fast-changing computer industry. That year Compaq forecast demand poorly and shipped too many PCs, causing resellers to dump them at fire sale prices, and since Compaq protected resellers from heavy losses it cost them two quarters of operating profits.<a href="#cite_note-cnn.com-74">[71]</a> Pfeiffer also refused to develop a potential successor, rebuffing Rosen's suggestion to recruit a few executives to create the separate position of Compaq president. The board complained that Pfeiffer was too removed from management and the rank-and-file, as he surrounded himself with a "clique" of Chief Financial Officer Earl Mason, Senior Vice-President John T. Rose, and Senior Vice-President of Human Resources Hans Gutsch. Current and former Compaq employees complained that Gutsch was part of a group of senior executives, dubbed the "A team", who controlled access to Pfeiffer. Gutsch was said to be a "master of corporate politics, pitting senior vice presidents against each other and inserting himself into parts of the company that normally would not be under his purview". Gutsch, who oversaw security, had an extensive security system and guard station installed on the eight floor of CCA-11, where the company's senior vice presidents worked.<a href="#cite_note-dwightsilverman.com-80">[77]</a> There were accusations that Gutsch and others sought to divide top management, although this was regarded by others as sour grapes on the part of executives who were shut out of planning that involved the acquisitions of Tandem Computers and Digital Equipment Corp.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek.com-56">[53]</a><a href="#cite_note-81">[78]</a> Pfeiffer reduced the size of the group working on the deal due to news leaks, saying "We cut the team down to the minimum number of people—those who would have to be directly involved, and not one person more". Robert W. Stearns, Compaq's senior vice president for business development, with responsibility for mergers and acquisitions, had opposed the acquisition of Digital as the cultural differences between both companies were too great, and complained that he was placed on the "B team" as a result.<a href="#cite_note-82">[79]</a> Compaq entered 1999 with strong expectations. Fourth-quarter 1998 earnings reported in January 1999 beat expectations by six cents a share with record 48 percent growth. The company launched Compaq.com as the key for its new direct sales strategy, and planned an IPO for <a href="/wiki/AltaVista" title="AltaVista">AltaVista</a> toward the end of 1999 in order to capitalize on the dotcom bubble.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-83">[80]</a> However, by February 1999, analysts were sceptical of Compaq's plan to sell both direct and to resellers. Compaq was hit with two class-action lawsuits, as a result of CFO Earl Mason, SVP John Rose, and other executives selling US$50 million of stock before a conference call with analysts, where they noted that demand for PCs was slowing down.<a href="#cite_note-Resign-84">[81]</a><a href="#cite_note-WSJ_Stepdown-85">[82]</a><a href="#cite_note-86">[83]</a> On April 17, 1999, just nine days after Compaq reported first-quarter profit being at half of what analysts had expected, the latest in a string of earnings disappointments, Pfeiffer was forced to resign as CEO in a coup led by board chairman <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_M._Rosen" title="Benjamin M. Rosen">Ben Rosen</a>. Reportedly, at the special board meeting held on April 15, 1999, the directors were unanimous in dismissing Pfeiffer. The company's stock had fallen 50 percent since its all-time high in January 1999.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek1999-76">[73]</a> Compaq shares, which traded as high as $51.25 early in 1999, dropped 23 percent on April 12, 1999, the first day of trading after the first-quarter announcement and closed the following Friday at $23.62.<a href="#cite_note-Resign-84">[81]</a> During three out of the last six quarters of Pfeiffer's tenure, the company's revenues or earnings had missed expectations.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1999-87">[84]</a> While rival <a href="/wiki/Dell" title="Dell">Dell</a> had 55% growth in U.S. PC sales in the first quarter of 1999, Compaq could only manage 10%.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek.com-56">[53]</a><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-78">[75]</a><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceC-79">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-WSJ_Stepdown-85">[82]</a> Rosen suggested that the accelerating change brought about by the Internet had overtaken Compaq's management team, saying "As a company engaged in transforming its industry for the Internet era, we must have the organizational flexibility necessary to move at Internet speed." In a statement, Pfeiffer said "Compaq has come a long way since I joined the company in 1983" and "under Ben's guidance, I know this company will realize its potential."<a href="#cite_note-88">[85]</a> Rosen's priority was to have Compaq catchup as an E-commerce competitor, and he also moved to streamline operations and reduce the indecision that plagued the company.<a href="#cite_note-businessweek.com-56">[53]</a> Roger Kay, an analyst at International Data Corporation, observed that Compaq's behavior at times seemed like a personal vendetta, noting that "Eckhard has been so obsessed with staying ahead of Dell that they focused too hard on market share and stopped paying attention to profitability and liquidity. They got whacked in a price war that they started."<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated3-89">[86]</a> Subsequent earnings releases from Compaq's rivals, Dell, Gateway, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard suggested that the problems were not affecting the whole PC industry as Pfeiffer had suggested.<a href="#cite_note-dwightsilverman.com-80">[77]</a> Dell and Gateway sold direct, which helped them to avoid Compaq's inventory problems and compete on price without dealer markups, plus Gateway sold web access and a broad range of software tailored to small businesses. Hewlett-Packard's PC business had similar challenges like Compaq but this was offset by HP's extremely lucrative printer business, while IBM sold PCs at a loss but used them to lock in multi-year services contracts with customers.<a href="#cite_note-cnn.com-74">[71]</a> After Pfeiffer's resignation, the board established an office of the CEO with a triumvirate of directors; Rosen as interim CEO and vice chairmen Frank P. Doyle and Robert Ted Enloe III.<a href="#cite_note-90">[87]</a> They began "cleaning house", as shortly afterward many of Pfeiffer's top executives resigned or were pushed out, including John J. Rando, Earl L. Mason, and John T. Rose. Rando, senior vice president and general manager of Compaq Services, was a key player during the merger discussions<a href="#cite_note-91">[88]</a> and the most senior executive from Digital to remain with Compaq after the acquisition closed<a href="#cite_note-92">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-93">[90]</a><a href="#cite_note-94">[91]</a> and had been touted by some as the heir-apparent to Pfeiffer. Rando's division had performed strongly as it had sales of $1.6 billion for the first quarter compared to $113 million in 1998, which met expectations and was anticipated to post accelerated and profitable growth going forward. At the time of Rando's departure, Compaq Services ranked third behind those of IBM and EDS, while slightly ahead of <a href="/wiki/Hewlett-Packard" title="Hewlett-Packard">Hewlett-Packard</a>'s and <a href="/wiki/Andersen_Consulting" class="mw-redirect" title="Andersen Consulting">Andersen Consulting</a>, however customers switched from Digital technology-based workstations to those of HP, IBM, and Sun Microsystems.<a href="#cite_note-95">[92]</a> Mason, senior vice president and chief financial officer, had previously been offered the job of chief executive of Alliant Foodservice, Inc., a foodservice distributor based in Chicago, and he informed Compaq's board that he accepted the offer.<a href="#cite_note-96">[93]</a><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated3-89">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-97">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-98">[95]</a> Rose, senior vice president and general manager of Compaq's Enterprise Computing group, resigned effective as of June 3 and was succeeded by Tandem veteran Enrico Pesatori. Rose was reportedly upset that he was not considered for the CEO vacancy, which became apparent once <a href="/wiki/Michael_Capellas" title="Michael Capellas">Michael Capellas</a> was named COO. While Enterprise Computing, responsible for engineering and marketing of network servers, workstations and data-storage products, reportedly accounted for one third of Compaq's revenues and likely the largest part of its profits, it was responsible for the earnings shortfall in Q1 of 1999.<a href="#cite_note-findarticles.com-99">[96]</a> In addition, Rose was part of the "old guard" close to former CEO Pfeiffer, and he and other Compaq executives had been criticized at the company's annual meeting for selling stock before reporting the sales slowdown.<a href="#cite_note-TopExec-100">[97]</a> Rose was succeeded by SVP Enrico Pesatori, who had previously worked as a senior executive at <a href="/wiki/Olivetti_S.p.A." class="mw-redirect" title="Olivetti S.p.A.">Olivetti</a>, <a href="/wiki/Zenith_Data_Systems" title="Zenith Data Systems">Zenith Data Systems</a>, <a href="/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation" title="Digital Equipment Corporation">Digital Equipment Corporation</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Tandem_Computers" title="Tandem Computers">Tandem Computers</a>.<a href="#cite_note-WSJ_Stepdown-85">[82]</a> Capellas was appointed COO after pressure mounted on Rosen to find a permanent CEO, however it was reported that potential candidates did not want to work under Rosen as chairman.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-83">[80]</a> Around the same time Pesatori was placed in charge of the newly created Enterprise Solutions and Services Group, making him Compaq's second most powerful executive in operational responsibility after Capellas.<a href="#cite_note-101">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-102">[99]</a> Pfeiffer's permanent replacement was Michael Capellas, who had been serving as Compaq's SVP and <a href="/wiki/Chief_information_officer" title="Chief information officer">CIO</a> for under a year.

Packard further stated that "<a href="/wiki/Carly_Fiorina" title="Carly Fiorina">[Carly] Fiorina</a>’s high-handed management and her efforts to reinvent the company ran counter to the company’s core values as established by the founders".

Plus there were significant cultural differences between HP and Compaq; which made decisions by consensus and rapid autocratic styles, respectively. One of Compaq's few bright spots was its services business, which was outperforming HP's own services division.<a href="#cite_note-CNET-119">[116]</a> The merger was approved by HP shareholders only after the narrowest of margins,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">clarification needed</a>] and allegations of vote buying (primarily involving an alleged last-second back-room deal with <a href="/wiki/Deutsche_Bank" title="Deutsche Bank">Deutsche Bank</a>) haunted the new company. It was subsequently disclosed that HP had retained Deutsche Bank's investment banking division in January 2002 to assist in the merger. HP had agreed to pay Deutsche Bank $1 million guaranteed, and another $1 million contingent upon approval of the merger. On August 19, 2003, the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission" title="U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission">U.S. SEC</a> charged Deutsche Bank with failing to disclose a material conflict of interest in its voting of client proxies for the merger and imposed a civil penalty of $750,000.

In addition, the merging of the stagnant Compaq computer assembly business with HP's lucrative printing and imaging division was criticized for obstructing the profitability of the printing/imaging segment.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated2b-131">[128]</a> Overall, it has been suggested that the purchase of Compaq was not a good move for HP, due to the narrow profit margins in the commoditized PC business, especially in light of IBM's 2004 announcement to sell its PC division to <a href="/wiki/Lenovo" title="Lenovo">Lenovo</a>. The Inquirer noted that the continued low return on investment and small margins of HP's personal computer manufacturing business, now named the Personal Systems Group, "continues to be what it was in the individual companies, not much more than a job creation scheme for its employees".<a href="#cite_note-theinquirer1-108">[105]</a> One of the few positives was Compaq's sales approach and enterprise focus that influenced the newly combined company's strategy and philosophy.<a href="#cite_note-132">[129]</a> In February 2005, the board of directors ousted Fiorina, with CFO <a href="/wiki/Robert_Wayman" title="Robert Wayman">Robert Wayman</a> being named interim CEO.<a href="#cite_note-edition.cnn.com-133">[130]</a> Former Compaq CEO Capellas was mentioned by some as a potential successor, but several months afterwards, <a href="/wiki/Mark_Hurd" title="Mark Hurd">Mark Hurd</a> was hired as president and CEO of HP.

By late 2006, HP had retaken the #1 sales position of PCs from Dell, which struggled with missed estimates and poor quality, and held that rank until supplanted in the mid-2010s by <a href="/wiki/Lenovo" title="Lenovo">Lenovo</a>. Most Compaq products have been re-branded with the HP nameplate, such as the company's market leading ProLiant server line (now owned by <a href="/wiki/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise" title="Hewlett Packard Enterprise">Hewlett Packard Enterprise</a>, which spun off from HP in 2015), while the Compaq brand was repurposed for some of HP's consumer-oriented and budget products, notably Compaq Presario PCs.

HP's Jornada PDAs were replaced by Compaq iPAQ PDAs, which were renamed HP iPAQ. Following the merger, all Compaq computers were shipped with HP software.
