IBM's proposed $865 million acquisition of network management company Micromuse could force Hewlett-Packard to ramp up its own acquisition strategy. IBM says the deal will allow it to provide services to companies looking for software to manage increasingly complex networks. Analyst John Rizzuto of Lazard Capital Markets said he expects IBM to leave Micromuse's processes alone. "They won't rock the boat with Micromuse's distribution and its customers," he said.

IBM’s proposed $865 million acquisition of network management company Micromuse Inc. could force Hewlett-Packard to ramp up its own acquisition strategy to stay competitive.
The deal, announced on Tuesday, will see Armonk, N.Y.-based IBM pay cash for San Francisco-based Micromuse. The offer gives Micromuse shareholders $10 a share, a 38.6 percent premium to the company’s $7.21 closing stock price on Tuesday.
