More and more Big Data startups will be looking for an exit to their investments and this is a perfect example of things working out. How many times have we seen companies in a bubble all jump on a hot topic and get floods of VC dollars pumped in to them. Like in other hypes, there are literally 100s of startups all claiming to work to get 10% market share. Mathematically, many people will lose their shorts.What I really like about CSC is their openness to the cloud and their leadership to take their clients into areas that need cloud. They have been doing this for years now, but with Infochimps, which was really not a tool, but a professional services model, there is a perfect compliment of capabilities. This is augment CSC to offer even greater services to their clients that will result in unique business value. Infochimps' technology will see client engagements they had only dreamed up previously.
Compliments to both management teams for having the foresight to complete these marriage!
