Thanks, Jorgen. In response to an earlier SSFT acquisition, Gartner's Cramoysan wrote: ScanSoft still must: Assimilate this large and wide-ranging set of acquisitions, along with its earlier ones, while avoiding the chaos and lack of control that has befallen other industry players that grew rapidly through acquisition. Demonstrate to the financial community that it has exploited its technology and investments in intellectual property to expand the speech recognition market. Increase its revenue share in higher-profit-margin services and applications, while maintaining its strong relations with application partners. Maintain its dominant position in speech technology and be more than just a "technology play" for megavendors that have entered the market, such as IBM and Microsoft.
