Resellers are generally reluctant to express an opinion on these deals, even off the record.

I have had the sense that Deltek CEO Kevin Parker would probably be happier with the operation as a private company.

DELTEK GOES PRIVATE AS DEAL CLOSES
Deltek has gone private as a $1.1-billion acquisition by Thoma Bravo has been completed. The private equity firm said Deltek becomes its twenty-fourth platform company in software and technology. The deal was for $13 a share and the Deltek management stays in place. Earlier, Deltek said that Thomas Bravo has a history of buying companies because it likes the management and strategy and tends not to make changes.
