IBM has taken a step closing to purchasing PriceWaterhouseCoopers' consulting division after partners in the accountancy firm approved Big Blue's $3.5bn bid.
The deal has also met with approval from regulators who were looking into potential anti-trust issues.
IBM hopes the deal will breathe new life into its services division.
The proposed sale ends PwC's plans to spin off the unit through a flotation.
IBM has already said it intends to cut jobs when it takes over the unit which currently employs 30,000 staff.
