In order to marry EMC, Dell, "kiss the son" are sold-Dell, EMC-IT information
Foreign media reported, citing people familiar with the matter said, Dell is planning the IT Services Department to be sold at US $ 3.5 billion to NTT, the message first, or will be released later in the day.
Dell plans to sale IT Technical Services Department is in fact is nothing new, because as early as in mid-December last year, has reported the news, just the message points out that:
Back in September, Dell began selling plans, but talks broke down due to price in the end--as Dell′s asking price up to $ 5 billion, and they apparently think the name Perot ServicesIT services departments are not worth the money.
2009 years ago, Perot Services, Dell spent $ 3.9 billion acquisition of the company, by the former United States presidential candidate entrepreneur Ross Perot (Ross Perot) was founded, mainly for government departments, the health care industry to provide IT services.
To be sold at US $ 3.5 billion to NTT might be a money-losing business, but can at least alleviate the financial pressures of buying EMC, reducing the amount of mergers and acquisitions required to issue corporate bonds.
Dell is so eager to liquidate is understandable. In EMC′s acquisition by Dell Dell in this field needs to spend $ 67 billion, in cash and in particular stock as a way to buy, if the merger is successful, Dell has to bear up to 40 billion dollars in debt, and this acquisition will become the world′s largest transaction in the technology market.
According to reports, the deal will be completed by 2016 5 to October. Dell said in a statement, in the first 18-24 months after the merger is completed, the company will focus on debt relief, to get the "investment" grade credit rating.
Previous message displays, Dell is planning to transfer non-core businesses ways to raise $ 10 billion, in addition to Perot outside Services, help IT management software, Quest Software, e-mail, encryption and data security services, SonicWall, AppAssure backup software also is listed as for sale.
In addition, Dell as early as last year, has announced that it will undergo major transformations:
"Follow the IBM model, into the enterprise market. ”
Despite plans to sell part of their business to obtain acquisition funds, but nothing in this round of divestitures include Dell′s hardware assets, such as servers, and so on, because this is crucial to Dell′s transformation after development. Purchase EMC as one of Dell′s most important initiatives in the transition plan are intended to make based on the original, in areas such as cloud computing, mobile security to continue to compete with Cisco, IBM, and HP, fighting for market share.
But as imitators of the transformation of IBM cloud services while also trying to, but net profit falls 15-quarter, as the loser, Dell transformed the future I′m afraid is not optimistic.
为了迎娶EMC，戴尔把“亲儿子”都卖了 - 戴尔,EMC - IT资讯
据外媒援引自知情人士透露，戴尔目前正计划将IT服务部门以35亿美元的价格出售给NTT，这一消息最早或将于今天晚些公布。
关于戴尔计划出售IT技术服务部门一事其实并不新鲜，因为早在去年12月中旬的时候就已经传出了这一消息，只不过当时的消息指出：
虽然早在9月，戴尔就已经开始了出售计划，但是最终还是因价格原因导致谈判破裂——因为戴尔的要价高达50亿美元，而对方显然觉得这个名叫Perot ServicesIT技术服务部门并不值这个钱。
Perot Services是戴尔在2009年前斥资39亿美元收购的公司，由前任美国总统候选人企业家罗斯·佩罗特(Ross Perot)创办，主要面向政府部门、医疗行业提供IT技术服务。
所以以35亿美元的价格出售给NTT或许是一件赔钱的买卖，但至少能够减轻收购EMC的财务压力，减少并购所需发行的企业债券量。
戴尔如此急于变现也不难理解。在这场戴尔对EMC的收购中戴尔需要斥资670亿美元，以现金和部分特殊股票的方式来收购，如果这一并购案成功，戴尔要承担高达400亿美元的巨额债务，而这场并购也会成为全球科技市场规模最大的交易。
据报道，这项交易将于2016年5到10月内完成。戴尔在声明中表示，合并完成后最初的18到24个月里，该公司将把重点放在减轻债务上，以获取“投资”等级的信用评级。
此前的消息显示，戴尔公司正计划通过转让非核心业务的方式来筹集100亿美元，除了Perot Services外，帮助IT管理的软件Quest Software、电子邮件加密和数据安全服务SonicWall、备份解决软件AppAssure也被列为待出售业务。
此外，戴尔早在去年就已经宣布将会进行重大转型：
“效仿IBM模式，进入企业市场。”
虽然计划通过卖掉部分业务来获取并购资金，但本轮的资产剥离并不包括戴尔的硬件资产，比如服务器等，因为这对戴尔转型后的发展至关重要。收购EMC作为戴尔转型计划中最重要的举措之一，则旨在原有基础上，在云计算、移动安全等领域继续与思科、IBM和惠普竞争，争取市场份额。
不过作为被效仿者的IBM虽然也在努力进行云服务的转型，但净利润已经连跌了15个财季，作为难兄难弟，戴尔转型后的未来恐怕也不容乐观。
