1. FLASH: SumTotal Acquires Pathlore - LMS Consolidation Continues: We just received news of the latest consolidation in the Learning Systems Space. SumTotal is buying Pathlore. Here is a blurb from the news that we just received:
"SumTotal Systems�, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUMTE) and Pathlore� Software Corporation, two leading enterprise software companies in the learning and business performance management market, today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement for SumTotal to acquire Pathlore for approximately $48 million. At the closing of the acquisition, Pathlore shareholders will receive approximately $29 million in cash and 4 million shares of SumTotal Systems common stock. The merger reinforces SumTotal's position as the largest software provider in the emerging learning and performance management market and is expected to provide its collective customers even greater resources for support and product innovation."

This continues the consolidation in this space. Watch for at least one more major deal before the end of 2006.
