In this environment, Compaq determined that we needed to do more for our customers.
在這種市場環境里，康柏決心要為我們的客戶做更多的事情。
We wanted to take the attributes that had made us successful - industry standard platforms, strong partnerships, useful innovation and customer responsiveness - and apply them to the full range of computing - from the palmtop to the data center.
我們希望將我們成功的諸多因素：工業標準平臺、強大的伙伴關系、實用的創新技術，以及對客戶需求的響應等應用在從掌上型電腦到數據中心的所有計算環境之中。
Compaq has developed significant enterprise strengths over the past few years. But we also needed capabilities that we could not build easily or quickly.
康柏在過去幾年里已經擁有了強大的實力。但我們仍然需要那些在短時間內無法快速輕易獲得的能力。
So earlier this year, Compaq announced its intention to acquire Digital Equipment Corporation - one of the premier suppliers of enterprise solutions and services and one of the pioneers of internetworked computing.
因此在今年年初，康柏對外宣布了收購DEC的意向。DEC是提供企業解決方案和服務的主要供應商，同時也是網絡互聯計算解決方案的業界先鋒之一。
As most of you probably know, Compaq completed the acquisition last week after Digital shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the merger agreement.
也許大多數人已經知道，上周DEC股東以壓倒多數的票數通過了合并協議，從而使康柏順利完成對DEC的收購。
This is an historic moment for Compaq as well as for our customers and the industry.
無論對于康柏、對于我們的客戶，還是對于整個業界而言，這無疑都是一個劃時代的時刻。
It brings together two companies with proud traditions of technology innovation and industry leadership.
這一收購行動將兩家在技術創新和業界領先地位方面享有盛譽的廠商合并在了一起。
With its minicomputers, DIGITAL defined the computing paradigm of the 1970s and much of the 1980s.
DEC以其微型計算機在二十世紀七十年代和八十年代的大部分時間里領導著計算發展的潮流。
With its industry standard personal computers - including the first PC server - Compaq defined the computing paradigm of the 1980s and 1990s.
而康柏則通過其工業標準個人電腦（包括第一臺PC服務器）在二十世紀八十年代和九十年代領導著計算發展的潮流。
We now see an opportunity to set the standard for a new world of computing
現在，我們看到了一個建立計算新紀元標準的機會。
One that expands on our vision of standards-based computing . . .
它將極大地拓寬我們在標準計算領域的視野。
One that builds on the combined strengths of Compaq, Digital, Tandem and our strategic partners. And one that promises you more choice, more power and more freedom than ever before.
這也將結合康柏、DEC、天騰公司以及康柏諸多戰略合作伙伴的強大力量。同時，也將為您帶來比以往任何時候都更廣泛的選擇余地，更多的功能和更大的自由度。
Our goal is really very simple: to empower customers by taking computing to new levels of flexibility simplicity and efficiency.
我們的目標其實非常簡單：那就是通過使計算獲得更高的靈活性、簡單性和高效率，使客戶擁有更強大的功能。
We will do this by offering a broad portfolio of Web-enabled clients and servers global life cycle services and best-of-breed partnerships with ISVs, channel partners and technology suppliers.
為了實現這一目標，我們將提供廣泛支持Web的客戶機和服務器、全球終身服務，并建立與ISV、渠道合作伙伴以及技術供應商們的最佳合作關系。
