Re: [service-orientated-architecture] Progress/Sonic acquires Actional

[Ron Schmelzer]

That was an underwater deal for sure. $32M was a fire sale. Ron Anne Thomas Manes wrote: http://www.progress.com/about_us/actional/index.ssp I think this was a very smart move by Progress. I suspect the investors in Actional are less than thrilled, though. Purchase price: $32 M; investment to date: $85 M. (That does not include the sale of the Actional adapters to iWay in 2003 -- financials were not disclosed, but I doubt that that sale made a significant dent in the loss.)
