Solution consolidation in IT industry

Hewlett-Packard said it will acquire computer services firm EDS for $25 per share, or $13.9 billion on May, 13. This intention seems to be very smililar to IBM's acquision of PWC.

Recent M&A in IT industry shows that HW vendors expands its service coverage into IT/Business Consulting service and Software including applications as well as HW.
I think this is because the market(customer) wants solution vendor to provide as many as solutions possible so that this could reduce implementation cost and maintenance cost.

I wonder which company would be the next target for HP or IBM?
- SAP, Oracle etc.....
