NTT in Talks to Buy Dell's Perot Systems

TOKYO—Japan's largest telecommunications group, Nippon Telegraph
& Telephone Corp., is in negotiations to purchase Perot
Systems, the information-technology consulting division of Dell
Inc., for several billion dollars, people familiar with the matter
said Tuesday.
If the deal goes through, it would be one of NTT's largest
overseas investments in recent years. The company, whose operations
span fixed-line and mobile telecommunications as well as IT
services, has been striving to increase its overseas presence
because it faces limited growth prospects at home.
Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported earlier Tuesday that NTT was
nearing a deal for the Dell division.
A person familiar with the matter said the situation was still
fluid and the price and scope of the acquisition have yet to be
decided.
Perot Systems was founded by former U.S. presidential candidate
Ross Perot and sold in 2009 to Dell for $3.9 billion. Dell is in
the midst of acquiring storage vendor EMC Corp. for tens of
billions of dollars, and a potential sale of Perot Systems could
raise cash to help finance the EMC deal.
The NTT group includes Japan's biggest mobile carrier, NTT
DoCoMo Inc. The group hopes to raise the overseas portion of its
revenue to around $22 billion by the year ending March 2018 from
around $15 billion in the last fiscal year.
In 2010, it acquired South African IT firm Dimension Data
Holdings PLC for $3.2 billion and U.S. IT services firm Keane Inc.
for an estimated $1.4 billion.
