Top Ten for the week of 4/19/2010
Big week for Executive moves. 150 total moves at the companies we track, compared to what seems to be the average of 120. Probably the biggest news to the day/week/month is that HP is going to acquire Palm. I have been hearing rumors that buyers have been looking at Palm for a while, but now it's official. Chordiant Software was acquired by Pegasystems. Sabrix was acquired by Thomson Reuters back in November 2009, last week they completed the integration.
