The job cuts represent about an 8 percent reduction in staff levels across the board and include six analysts within the Jupiter research division and six sales representatives, the company said during a conference call. The reduction is expected to result in a $5 million charge.

One plus one can equal one-and-a-half in merged companies, added company officials. Gene DeRose, vice chairman and chief operating officer, said now is a good time to find a lot of those synergies.
