На сайте http://www.olapreport.com/new.htm#Geac появилась новость о покупке компании Comshare. Сумма сделки конечно не такая уж большая, всего $52m. Но имеют место довольно интересные совпадения:

Cognos and Geac are both Canadian and were of similar size before these acquisitions. Both also have CEOs with British roots.
Comshare and Adaytum had almost identical revenues (of about $60m), though Adaytum’s were growing much faster.
Cognos paid three times as much for Adaytum as Geac is paying for Comshare.
Both deals were for cash.
Both Adaytum and Comshare marketed CPM software.
In both cases, the acquired company’s name disappeared

Можно сделать вывод, что эта сделка полезна компании Cognos - еще одним конкурентом на рынке CPM-продуктов стало меньше...
