Cons
With the recent acquisition of Verispan by Surveillance Data Incorporated (SDI), not enough time has elapsed to offer a fair evaluation of the new company. However while senior management of the new company is competent, motivated and straight-talking, the integration plan being executed seems more motivated by deadlines, rather than common sense.
