Step 1: Fail at trying to acquire Qualcomm

Step 2: Successfully acquire CA Technologies, keeping all those mainframe companies on their mainframes for exorbitant fees

Step 5: As you said, milk the huge enterprises with critical technology stuck in either mainframes or virtualization of their tech because they would rather pay the monthly fees than the upfront investment of moving to more modern systems
