Acquisitions

In September 2014, we acquired Consilience Software, Inc. (Consilience) for approximately $25 in cash. The acquisition of Consilience provides case management and workflow automation software solutions to the public sector. Consilience's proprietary Maven Case Management software system uses data and process analytics to help government agencies extract more value from their information. The intelligent case management system automates workflows for document- and labor-intensive processes and integrates previously siloed legacy systems for accelerated decision-making.

In May 2014, we acquired ISG Holdings, Inc. (ISG) for approximately $225 in cash. The acquisition of ISG enhances our Services segment by providing a comprehensive workers' compensation suite of offerings to the property and casualty sector. In addition, the acquisition expands our services to property and casualty insurance carriers, third-party administrators, managed care services providers, governments and self-administered employers which require comprehensive reviews of medical bills and implementation of care management plans stemming from workers’ compensation claims.

In January 2014, we acquired Invoco Holding GmbH (Invoco), a German company, for approximately $54 (€40 million) in cash. The acquisition of Invoco expands our European customer care services and provides our global customers immediate access to German-language customer care services and provides Invoco's existing customers access to our broad business process outsourcing capabilities.

ISG and Invoco are included in our Services segment. Additionally, our Services segment acquired one additional business for approximately $2 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The operating results of these acquisitions are not material to our financial statements and are included within our results from their acquisition dates. The purchase prices were allocated primarily to intangible assets and goodwill based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates.
