HP Acquires EDS

210,000 employees is amazing.  $12.8 billion closed the deal.  It will be interesting to watch the merger -combining the different business models gives them an impressive suite of products and services.  I think the merger will create a good alternative for large corporations to do their outsourcing.  I believe that the merger will also be good for services companies like Animus Solutions because both companies use pinch-hit expert consultants often to work with them under the HP or EDS umbrella.  EDS has worked with many of the ITAM products for different clients so I wonder if that will be an issue for them.  If so, there many be a replacement push that will change the marketspace.  We shall see.

    With Mercury Interactive, Peregrine, Opsware / Tangram, Novadigm and EDS under its belt, H-P may be the new 800 lb gorilla in the ITAM marketplace. They can combine the EDS managed service business with the in-house tools and offer a compelling and comprehensive suite of service and software.
