A quick glance at the income statement shows HYSW at 9.4% for the year, which does seem low to me, but that may include extraordinary items.

You can't compare Microsoft at all which is a largely OEM business model. Oracle is probably a better comparable since they have a mix of licenses and lower margin services.

In fact, Oracle is HYSL's most direct competitor.

The target operating margin for the combined company is targeted at 18% and a reasonable objective given the business model.
