Interesting information about Lawson Software. Lawson might be getting shaken up a bit... Not sure what this will mean for all of us. (would love to be a fly on the wall in a Lawson conference room right now.)

Here is the article:

I don't know what to make of it, or even how LWSN even got on his radar (perhaps he wants to own part of the cloud!) For more, see http://blog.lawsonguru.co...25/the-icahn-effect/
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

It will make for some interesting reading over the summer. Icahn is known for turning companies around to make better profit.
