In case you missed it, here is a quick synopsis of a few deals that happened in the past few weeks:<\/p>\n

September 24 \u2013 SciQuest goes public<\/p>\n

September 27 \u2013 HighJump Software agrees to acquire TrueCommerce<\/p>\n

September 27 \u2013 Madison Dearborn Partners agrees to acquire stake in Fieldglass<\/p>\n
