The largest consulting company globally. It has morphed very nicely over the last 5 years, and has become the leading consultant towards the Internet and Cloud computing. Cloud computing is really just getting going. Companies need a lot of help in terms of analysis, and how to go about doing it and how to implement it. This is a huge free cash flow generating machine. Dividend yield of 1.9%. (Analysts’ price target is $133.50.)
