Towers, Perrin & Watson Wyatt Merger

Recently it was noted that Towers Perrin & Watson Wyatt will merge into a new organization called Towers Watson & Company in an all stock deal valued at $3.5B. What will this do to the pricing of services that you may currently have with one of these companies? My thought is that with one (1) fewer choice for HR consultantancy out there that you will see the price of services increase by at least 10%. What will that do to your budget.

Better start shopping around for new vendors.
