继续剥离资产，戴尔拟以20多亿美元出售软件业务 - 戴尔,DELL - IT资讯
6月20日消息，据路透社独家报道，知情人士称，私募股权公司Francisco Partners、对冲基金Elliott Management旗下私募股权公司正在与戴尔进行深入谈判，计划以20多亿美元收购戴尔软件部门。
对于戴尔来说，该公司已经在去年10月份同意以670亿美元收购数据存储公司EMC，剥离软件资产将有助于调整技术业务组合重点，充实资产负债表。EMC持有云虚拟化软件公司VMware的控股股份。
知情人士称，戴尔寻求出售几乎所有软件资产，包括协助企业进行IT信息管理的Quest Software以及电邮加密和数据安全提供商SonicWall。不过，戴尔将保留专注于云软件整合的Boomi业务。
戴尔与Francisco Partners、Elliott收购财团最快可能在本周达成协议，不过谈判依然存在破裂的可能。
出售软件部门有助于戴尔摆脱部分利润不高的资产，为公司的业务剥离计划画上句号。在同意收购EMC后，戴尔启动了一系列资产出售交易。
今年3月，日本NTT Data以30多亿美元收购了戴尔IT咨询部门Perot Systems，向北美市场扩张，增强其服务业务。戴尔旗下网络安全部门SecureWorks还在今年4月份启动首次公开招股(IPO)，融资1.12亿美元，这也是今年美国科技公司的第一笔上市交易。
尽管Elliott过去也一直在寻求收购交易，但是对于戴尔软件部门的收购将是该公司自去年聘请艾萨克·金(Isaac Kim)以来的首笔重大私募股权投资。艾萨克·金是私募股权公司Golden Gate Capital的前投资总监，去年加盟Elliott协助公司提升在杠杆售收购领域的实力。
EMC曾经也是Elliott的收购目标。2014年，Elliott呼吁EMC剥离所持有的VMware股份或追求其它合并机会。去年，Elliott与EMC达成协议，随后支持戴尔对EMC的收购。
Francisco Partners专注于科技领域的私募股权投资，目前已经筹集了大约100亿美元资本。自从15多年前创建以来，Francisco Partners已经投资了150多家科技公司。
戴尔不予置评。Francisco Partners、Elliott尚未置评。
