"The expertise we gain from Allin further deepens our ability to help customers exploit Microsoft technologies for business advantage," Stephen Murdoch, vice president of Dell's Global Infrastructure Consulting Services, said in a statement.
The acquisition will further increase , as a means to further sales of its hardware.
The acquisition does not include Pittsburgh-based Allin's interactive media and business process consulting units.
