Both reports cite NTT’s desire to grow its IT consulting business in the United States as one of the reasons it wants the business unit.
Former presidential candidate Ross Perot founded Perot Systems in 1998. The company was once a member of Fortune’s Most Admired Companies in America list in 2008.
In 2009, Dell bought Perot Systems for $3.9 billion. Dell has been looking to sell Perot Systems in order to help finance its massive $67 billion purchase of business technology giant EMC (EMC) as well as its family of companies and subsidiaries.
