Agilent Announces Reorganization of its EMG

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a reorganization of its Electronic Measurements Group (EMG), merging the company's Operations Support Systems Group (OSSG) with two other existing businesses within EMG. David Churchill, Agilent's vice president and general manager of the Design Validation Division (DVD), will head the new business unit, named Network and Digital Solutions (NDS). Before joining Agilent in 2005, Churchill was the senior vice president and general manager, Communications and Video Business Unit, at Tektronix.

"The merger of OSSG with DVD and our Computing and Networking Solutions business will significantly strengthen our leadership position in the wireless-convergence and digital markets," said Pat Byrne, Agilent senior vice president and president of EMG. "The combination will enable EMG to realize important synergies in our delivery of solutions to common customer segments, as well as in our operations."

Agilent executive Tom White, president of OSSG, has announced his plans to leave the company. Agilent's Electronic Measurements Group, with $3 B in revenue, is focused on providing measurement products, solutions and services to the $20 B electronic measurement market.
