Solution providers say Dell’s deal to sell its Perot Systems IT services business to Japan-based outsourcing firm NTT Data for nearly $3.1 billion opens the door to dramatically increased services revenue for Dell partners.
“I’ve got to believe it creates an opportunity for partners,” said Dan Serpico, CEO of FusionStorm, a San Francisco-based Dell partner. By selling Perot, Dell waves goodbye to its ability to support customers in the way it has since it bought the company in 2009.
