The acquisition is consistent with our strategy to invest in a more integrated software experience for our customers. The acquisition of Follow Up Boss has been accounted for as a business combination, and assets acquired and liabilities assumed were generally recorded at their estimated fair values, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance.

We used an income approach to measure the fair value of the developed technology and trade names and trademarks based on the relief-from-royalty method. These fair value measurements were based on Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
