You may remember that we reported on a story in September, in which Dell made a bid to acquire Perot Systems. Today Dell announced that they have completed their $3.9 billion offer for the consulting service. Dell will now own more than 90 percent of Perot Systems.
The acquisition will create a new business unit known as Dell Services, which will offer IT services to customers. Dell will now be able to provide a number of new services including, technology hosting, consulting, and application outsourcing.
Former Perot CEO Peter Altabef will be president of dell services, and will report to Dell chairmen and CEO Michael Dell. Altabef stated “Dell Services will be a powerful organization with the extensive capabilities and global reach to address the needs of organizations of all types.”
