Just looked at COG acquisition announcement. Seems to be done at around 1.15 times '97 Revenue. (paid about $4,000,000 for a company that did $3.5 million in 1997)

Anyone know if this is typical in the IT business? I'm looking for some numbers commonly used as basis for acquisition transactions.
Much obliged, anyone.

cheers.
