As I remember it, Peregrine bought Remedy for the cash. They had cooked the books for just about the same amount of cash that Remedy had in the bank. I remember the discussions about why they bought it, this or that, but when the numbers came out, cash was the reason. "Follow the cash" seems to be a good rule to follow these days.

It was competition they wanted eliminated, IMHO based on their actions and the words at the Peregrine Synergy conference I attended in 2002. Whilst this current buyout looks less sinister in those terms, we of course need to wait to see how it all plays out. There is some talk that it will split off the mainframe from the rest, but I haven't heard any rumours about what they want to do with both pieces. I think the Remedy brand and the ITSM product are too valuable for anyone to want to eliminate them, other than Service-Now, and I don't think they have the financial resources to buy it.
