Omaha, Nebraska-based IT consulting and services company Inacom Corp has completed the acquisition of Vanstar Corp, the Pleasanton, California-based computer retail and consulting company. The stock-swap deal, estimated at around $465m, was initiated in October last year (CI No 3514). It drives Inacom, with combined revenues of $7bn and 7, 000 employees into the major leagues of technology services firms. John Lambrechts, director of investor relations, said that 1200-1500 staff would be laid off, mainly from administrative areas of duplication.
