I do not consider this off-topic at all. I posted a thought on this about one month ago after HP released their most recent financial report, noting that the EDS acquisition was the catalyst in their strongest revenue-increase area.

Your posted article appears to suggest this will continue. I have stated my opinion that the PTSC secure data sharing in both the justice and healthcare areas will be a long-term investment, as suggested by this excerpt form your posted article:

"The biggest boost to profits could be from HP's acquisition and integration of EDS. The addition will allow HP to compete with IBM more aggressively for big corporate deals. With operating margins over 60% and long-term contracts built in over the next three to five years, the EDS outsourcing business nicely supplements HP's recurring revenue."

As I note in that previous post, my hope is that any profitable progress for HP in the healthcare arena benefits their subcontractors/partners, such as our Crossflo connection. I believe the HP/Crossflo partnership is a strong one, and I believe it will benefit PTSC in a strong way.

Cheers,
