ROUND ROCK, Texas and PLANO, Texas

• Complementary Strengths Enhance Dell’s IT Services Portfolio, Perot Systems’ Global Reach
• Companies Together Represent $8 Billion in Services Revenue
• Acquisition Expected to Be Accretive to GAAP Earnings in Fiscal 2012

ROUND ROCK and PLANO, Texas, Sept. 21, 2009 — Dell and Perot Systems have entered a definitive agreement for Dell to acquire Perot Systems in a transaction valued at approximately $3.9 billion. Terms of the agreement were approved yesterday by the boards of directors of both companies. The acquisition will result in a compelling combination of two iconic information-technology brands.

The expanded Dell will be even better positioned for immediate and long-term growth and efficiency driven by:

• Providing a broader range of IT services and solutions and optimizing how they’re delivered;
• Extending the reach of Perot Systems’ capabilities, including in the most dynamic customer segments, around the world, and,
• Supplying leading Dell computer systems to even more Perot Systems customers.

I wonder if this might open up new markets and opportunities for Dell and Perot Systems alike. This deal should further Dell’s move into professional services to meet customer needs and opportunities, very cool, I’ll need to read up more.
