To the Directors of Iris

Dear Sirs

I wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate you on the purchase of another legal supplier.

This has come at a particularly difficult time as most suppliers have started to see the effect of the recent recession and whilst we have been able to pick off the most disaffected of your users there are a number of others, who whilst wanting to move, have postponed their decision for a few months whilst the current problems play themselves out.

It is only thanks to your magnanimous gesture that the rest of us will be able to continue to ensure that we will prosper as a number of previously happy users find themselves looking for a new a supplier.

Christmas has come early this year.

Thank you

The Other Suppliers

PS When you say “run independently by its existing management team, who are remaining with the business”, presumably that is true until you have had enough of them (Ian Knox, Steve Kendrick, Jim Chase etc). I trust that their lawyers have ensured they are well protected.

'All CSG Legal companies will operate independently going forward' CSG executives spring 2006.

Spring 2008 the AIM, Mountain and Videss brands no longer exist, senior exec's depart, CSG has been sold, IRIS is now run/owned by American Private Equity who bought at the peak in 2007.........clearly buying OPSIS is strategically brilliant and something everyone has been missing for years!!!

Naturally the company will now move from being called OPSIS to OPSICK....

BRILLIANT another user base who will lose all confidence through yet another series of dire management decisions, presentations, corporate arrogance.

Please, please IRIS buy some more companies and wreck them as well.

Goodnight and goodbye OPSIS

u'd have thought they'd learnt from buying Mountain
