If the price is $250 million Canadian, I'd agree because that would be only $24.50 a share, not much above the current price. $250 million american would be about $36 a share though, and that should be enough, I would think. As for the personalities, I can't comment. I'd like to hear more about DMC, and what they do, though. Are they a direct competitor to INFA? Do they compete with SNDT (another canadian company)? My understanding was that DMC is in data warehousing and data marts. My understanding is also that typically OLAP companies like COGN work with data that has already been consolidated in a data warehouse. Thus a single solution includes both a data warehouse product and an OLAP product. My understanding is also that some companies (e.g. SGNT) have tried to combine both products into a single easy to implement package. Unfortunately they are limited in power. Would a combined COGN and DMC solution work as a more powerful competitor to SGNT? Also, do COGN and DMC work together at all right now? Please tell me more about DMC. Thanks, Carl
