Sourcing Market Pulse

As most of you have probably heard by now Dell announced yesterday a rather expensive acquisition of Perot Systems.   Dell needs to expand its services offerings in the corporate world to compete better with the likes of HP/EDS and IBM.  Perot Systems has struggled to grow and keep up beyond what it has been able to do in the healthcare space.  So on paper it looks like a good move but the integration of services firms is always tough (remember PwC and IBM) and even if the merger succeeds, is it enough for Dell?  Check out further thoughts on the merger from myself and Lee Ann Moore, EquaTerra's CMO, on the EquaTerra blog.
