The Sage Group is back in the merger-and-acquisition business, but the efforts of the English parent of Sage North America to take over a Polish company did not succeed.

However, Unit4, whose products include Coda and Agresso and which had previously placed a bid, came back with an offer of 12.80 pounds per share. Sage dropped its effort saying it could not justify a higher price. However, the move demonstrates that Sage, which purchased nothing of significance in 2009, sees the market differently this year.

Hopefully, nobody there reads this article. You can get on the public library's network simply by agreeing not to do the usual array of nasty things online. That's funny because the staff vigorously patrols the desktop units to keep nonmembers off those.
