New Re: Didn't HP buy consulting arm of Price Waterhouse ?


That is the services link - In the 1990s Andersen Consulting (now accenture) & Price Waterhouse IT consulting, ruled the world. But IBM global services was created as a counter balance & grew to displace both of those companies.

The Internet hastened the demise of traditional IT consulting firms as they could all see the world was changing - most consulting companies (who started as accounting consultants or management consultnats) have recently sold off their old IT consulting arms.

Am not sure what this means for the proposed Compaq & HP merger.

Cheers
