Concurrent Computer Corporation
- ... that Concurrent Computer Corporation was consumed in a "minnow-swallows-the-whale" merger during the junk bonds era, but unusually, kept its name, CEO, and headquarters location? Source: see footnote 8 in article, the September 16, 1990 Asbury Park Press story

Excellent article, about a subject right in my wheelhouse. New enough, long enough, neutral and free of close paraphrasing or other copyright violations (including from print sources). QPQ fulfilled. Gave it a light copyedit and expanded the end section to include the post-Battery-acquisition division name. Hooks is interesting. A bit on the lengthy side, but I like the idiom.

- @DigitalIceAge: Thanks very much for the review and the kind words. As for the Concurrent Real-Time division, it's good that you added the name here. I couldn't figure out where the best place is for its ongoing history – this article? Spectris plc? Brüel & Kjær? I guess in part it depends on how the Concurrent technology evolves and is used.

- Hmm, if it doesn't contribute too much undue weight I suppose a subsection dedicated to Concurrent RT in the Brüel & Kjær article under "Organisational developments" could be added with all the ongoing history. DigitalIceAge (talk) 15:07, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
