Allscripts + Eclipsys = A Deal That Makes Sense

A disturbing number of corporate M&A transactions end up being disappointing wastes of time and shareholders' money. In fact, I would go so far as to say that a lot of deals are about executive ego, hiding an inability to grow organically, or simply giving institutional shareholders the illusion that management is "active". 

I am putting all of that aside today. I actually do think that the combination of Allscripts (Nasdaq:MDRX) and Eclipsys (Nasdaq:ECLP) is one that makes a lot of sense. Accordingly, this may be one of the relatively rare deals that actually benefits all parties involved.
