This could go in a few different folders.

That could be interesting. I wonder what difference it might make at App with our current IMG connection.
If serving is beneath you, then leading is beyond you.

It may do nothing but with less choices available it could drive up the price we pay IMG/or down the price IMG pays us as the case may be to handle some of the work. I could see this hitting our bottom line in a negative way.

I hope that is not the case, and I also hope the IMG office in W-S stays there. That is another concern.

Then again it could leverage a few things and make a bunch of contracts require less work and offer some bundle rates on combined contracts that could save us money.

Market consolidation usually doesn't help the consumer.
