Outsourcing is a word we hear more and more these days, but according to EMC Chairman and CEO Joe Tucci, it&#39;s one that&#39;s used too much.&quot;I think outsourcing is an over-used word. I think what you are going to see more of is companies willing to outsource a business process. So for instance, in EMC we outsource all our payroll but we outsource the entire process, not just the IT process. So I think you are going to see a lot more of that. I think you are not going to see wholesale take everything. I think that market is slowing down,&quot; he said.Tucci was speaking during a news conference on the sidelines of his company&#39;s EMC Forum event.He said outsourcing of specific functions, such as PC backup which EMC offers through its Berkeley Data Systems unit, is where he sees success in outsourcing.&quot;I see business process outsourcing speeding up, I see a slowdown in wholesale &#39;take my whole datacenter, take my applications and you do it for me.&#39; I think that market is not going to be a robust market,&quot; he said.Last week the data-storage company reported a&#160;third quarter net income&#160;of $493 million, up more than $200 million over the same period last year. Revenue jumped to $3.3 billion from $2.8 billion. The company was helped during the quarter by the&#160;sale of a partial stake&#160;in virtualization software maker VMware to Cisco Systems.&#160;EMC acquired VMware&#160;in 2003.Tucci said EMC might look at further acquisitions but is now focused on companies that will help grow its existing businesses.&quot;My philosophy is that I want to stay focused on what I call these eight spheres of technology, so acquisitions that we do would basically make some of these spheres stronger rather than put another sphere on the board,&quot; he said. The eight areas he referred to are: intelligent information management, enterprise content management, virtualization, resource management, storage, availability, security, and archiving.&quot;That being said, eventually we will add a new sphere but that&#39;s not my immediate attention,&quot; Tucci said.During the news conference Tucci also confirmed that Mark Lewis has become president of the company&#39;s Documentum unit. Lewis was previously chief development officer for EMC.
