Title:
  Perot Systems...What It Means to Global Services
As you saw in the message from Michael, we have made a significant statement with the announcement of our intent to acquire Perot Systems. It’s the right services acquisition, for our customers and both companies.
Yesterday, Michael and Perot Systems executives hosted a Town Hall with some members of our team. I encourage you to watch a replay of that meeting which is now posted on One Dell Way.
The acquisition will result in a compelling combination of two iconic information-technology brands that have similarly strong, relationship-based business cultures, and that are known for helping customers thrive by using IT for greater effectiveness and productivity. Perot Systems is a team of great people and like Dell, it has a sharp customer focus and a history of innovation.
When the acquisition is complete, our Global Services teams will be combined with Perot Systems into a single services business unit. I will be communicating with you often, sharing details and developments on this news throughout the process. In the meantime, even as we plan for integration, Dell and Perot Systems will continue to function as independent companies and our focus should remain on our customers and their needs.
Some of you may be involved in the planning for eventual integration with Perot Systems and I know your efforts will be critical in making it successful.
Don’t hesitate to come to me or your manager with any questions. Thanks in advance for your support during this exciting time!

The acquisition will result in a compelling combination of two iconic information-technology brands that have similarly strong, relationship-based business cultures and that are known for helping customers thrive by using IT for greater efficiency and productivity. Perot Systems is a team of great people and, like Dell, it has a sharp customer focus and a history of innovation.
When the acquisition is complete, our Global IT teams will be merged with Perot Systems, in the process moving IT go-to-market strategies as we take our stronger internal capabilities to customers.
Our focus will remain on our customers, and we need to continue to deliver on our commitments to them and to the company. The ‘rationalize the core’ strategy remains in place and is as important as ever. This simplification of our systems will enable us to not only bring more innovation to the combined organization, but also free up capacity to take our experiences and expertise to our customers. When the acquisition is complete, Perot Systems’ skills and people can help us accelerate that strategy.
For everyone in Dell IT, this creates a whole new opportunity and set of career paths and enables us to deliver both faster and better for Dell. Some of you may be involved in the planning for eventual integration with Perot Systems, and I know your efforts will be critical in making it successful.
Don’t hesitate to come to me or your manager with any questions. I plan to communicate with you often, sharing details and developments on this news throughout the process. Thanks in advance for your support during this exciting time!
