Exciting times ahead.
Of course when a company is bought in and there is an existing in-house team this can be viewed in various ways.
In house team have spotted superiority of other company efforts and knows they cannot be matched quickly. Simplest route is to buy them.
In house team is struggling and senior management have spotted this and have bought in other co to remedy this.
Other co bought in to shut them down as competition to ARM offering.
And so on.
But let us hope 2017 will see the in house and outsider teams merge seamlessly into a single smoothly functioning team that delivers superb products.
Merry Xmas.
