Q: hi. after just reading your latest report on CSU, I am still not sure that I understand their "roll-up" business model vis a vis earnings growth? are they buying up these little niche software companies, and then increasing the prices that their customers have to pay, with no real value add to the customer otherwise? can you describe their model to me ( or us? ) like I was a 5 year old ( to quote Michael Scott from the Office ).
cheers, Chris
