Acquisitions and advice
[by Hannah Smalltree]
hsmalltree@techtarget.com

I imagine you've heard last week's big news about SAP's plans to
acquire Business Objects. We covered the story, along with our sister
sites, and are now onto more articles about what this really means
for SAP and Business Objects customers, BI buyers and the business
intelligence (BI) and performance management industry. Please, tell
us what other questions you still have about the deal. We'll work on
getting answers!

** Get the basics on the deal from our news coverage:

be asking now:

That's not all that happened last week. Teradata announced a
partnership with SAS at its Partner Conference, covered in person by
SearchDataManagement.com expert contributor Mark Whitehorn. Oracle
decided to do some more shopping, too, announcing plans to acquire
Logical Apps and BEA. (And I thought I had a "shopping problem"!)

Anything else on your mind? Things you'd like to see? Email me at
hsmalltree@techtarget.com and let me know -- and please have a
wonderful week!
