Section 3 – Project / Service Description Project Description and Product Characteristics
To address Sun Microsystems' strategic dilemma, the project will concentrate on the company's declining market share and profitability due to several issues, including internal organizational challenges, competitive pressure from alternative
technologies like Linux, and economic downturns. Redesigned product offerings, including Linux-based solutions, and strategic partnerships with businesses such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to boost competitiveness in the server market
are some of the qualities that will result in the final product.
Project Purpose / Justification
This project aims to revitalize Sun Microsystems by realigning its product portfolio, addressing competitive threats, and improving its market positioning. The justification for completing this project lies in the urgent need to reverse declining profitability, regain lost market share, and establish a sustainable growth trajectory for the company.
