TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIOCAST REMARKS:
Hello to our SMB colleagues around the world. By now I hope you’ve had a chance to see Michael’s announcement of our intent to acquire Perot Systems. This is really exciting news for Dell and for us in SMB. This is the right services company for us, one that will complement our portfolio with additional world-class services capabilities. Perot Systems is a team of great people, and like Dell, it has a sharp customer focus and a history of innovation. When complete, the acquisition will result in a compelling combination of two iconic information-technology brands. Perot Systems has a well-

 


 

earned reputation for exceptional services and significant value for customers. We’re also both known for helping customers thrive by using IT for greater effectiveness and productivity. The acquisition combines Dell’s global reach and significant services business with Perot Systems’ world-class services portfolio to deliver broader enterprise services to more customers worldwide. This combination complements our vision in SMB, which is powering business ideas that change your world — enabling customers to transform the world with innovation and creative solutions. Much of Perot’s business is focused on midsize enterprises. And Dell and Perot have already collaborated on the design of modular services, such as our ProManage service for small business. By delivering broader services and solutions to more customers, we can be even more effective in our role to empower customers and drive their success. It’s another way that Dell can become the technology partner of choice for customers worldwide. This announcement is an important milestone in our history as we continue to build a bigger and better Dell. For now, though, let’s stay focused on our customers and our business and thanks in advance for all of your support.
