Dell continues its path towards providing Fortune 1000 services with this acquisition of the highly rated software company Quest. Looking at their site one can see they specialise in a number of areas that help companies manage software and services.
Dell last week offered $27.50 a share, or about $2.32 billion for Quest. Insight had the opportunity to match or beat the increased offer but struggled to put together financing despite last-minute efforts by Smith, The Wall Street Journal reported citing people familiar with the matter.
The deal is expected to close in Dell's fiscal third quarter.
"The addition of Quest will enable Dell to deliver more competitive server, storage, networking and end user computing solutions and services to customers," said John Swainson, president of Dell Software Group. "Quest's suite of industry-leading software products, highly talented team members and unique intellectual property will position us well in the largest and fastest growing areas of the software industry."
