*NEW RESEARCH* HPE ES/CSC spin-merge: Impact on Infrastructure Services

In late May, HPE announced its plan to spin out its Enterprise Services business (i.e. what began life as the 2008 EDS acquisition) to merge with CSC and create a new services company. The new combined entity (worth $26bn in revenue globally) will be what HPE/CSC describe as being a “pure-play” services firm – emphasising their view that the optimal way to deliver services it to not combine them with product capabilities.

HPE is currently the largest provider – in revenue terms – of infrastructure services to the UK market. The spin-merge, therefore, is very significant. In this research note we examine the implications of the spin-merger for buyers and suppliers, and take a look at what the new entity could shape up to be in terms of its market placing.
