Dell is planning to buy MessageOne -- founded by Michael Dell's brother Adam -- in a US$155 million dollar cash acquisition.
PC maker Dell will spend around US$340 million, on a software asset-management company, in a bid to simplify dealings with its customers.
Dell has beat rival offers from Hewlett-Packard, IBM and ADNet Technology to win a large chunk of Sydney Water's IT spend for at least the next three years.
Dell is to consider selling PCs through a reseller channel, breaking the direct sales model which has seen it become one of the world's top two computer vendors.
Sydney Water will soon decide on suppliers for a substantial portion of its IT spend over the next three years with the business planning to continue keeping a lot of its technology work at arm's length.

Companies are hanging on to their IT equipment longer to stave off spending what they can't currently afford. But IT systems have to be disposed of eventually; what happens when they do?
Although some level of diversity in hardware suppliers is typically unavoidable and beneficial, it does introduce costs that must be understood during the vendor selection process so organisations should strive to keep the number of active vendors low.
Big Blue's plan to sell its PC unit to China's Lenovo Group (formerly known as Legend) would be the latest example of a move toward consolidation as the market reaches maturity.
