    Cartesis Changes Owners

    In late December, Cartesis was acquired by an investment consortium led by Apax Partners. They had been owned by PwC. The fact that they were owned by an audit firm did have a negative impact on their Sarbanes-Oxley related business, probably reducing potential sales by about 10%. This is ironic since they have one of the stronger SarBox solutions in the BPM space. Therefore, we view this change as positive for the company and its customers. In addition, the U.S. operation has been strengthening its management team by bringing on former Hyperion executives to lead its Sales and Service areas. We believe Cartesis is now well-positioned to challenge the BPM leaders, particularly in the area of financial management.
