well that begs the question...
"Pellegrini/IMS got no where with the PEA Air Sahara? LOL They were toast on this product and they knew it."
why would WENCOR, which has been previously held up as a great organization with vision suddenly become stupid enough to pay good money for products that "got no where" and where "toast". Doesn't make any business sense.
Why not just let them wither on the vine and die? The only scenario to buy an inferior product that makes sense is if they had a bunch of locked-up contracts, which you have pointed out they don't.
Buy a whole company to get their people? Especially someone that "struck out" previously? WENCOR just spent how long hiring folks for this area? Nope, WENCOR saw something there that they did not have and buying the company lock, stock, and barrel was a cheaper/better solution then developing with EDIG.
