Dell Buying Perot Systems For $3.9 Billion

alphadogg writes "Dell has agreed to buy Perot Systems for around $3.9 billion in cash, and intends to make the company its global services delivery division, the companies said Monday.The deal will allow Dell to expand its range of IT services, and potentially allow it to sell more hardware to existing Perot customers, it said. Dell's rival Hewlett-Packard expanded its own global services unit with the acquisition of EDS for $13.9 billion in May 2008. Over the last four quarters, Dell and Perot together had revenue of $16 billion from enterprise hardware and IT services, with $8 billion coming from enhanced services and support, Dell said. Perot's contribution to that is relatively small: In 2008, the company reported total revenue of $2.78 billion."

I, too, can tell that this is shopped, because of the pixels and from having seen many shops in my time. There. Happy?

Sorry, forgot to close the door when Linda (the banging hot new receptionist) came into my office and blew me. Shit was so cash.
