Usage examples

Elsewhere somebody suggested that "roll-up" might be a non-notable neologism. I'd disagree with that strongly. It's business jargon, but popular jargon. I first heard the term from an M&A expert a decade ago, and a quick search in Google News finds 5 recent uses of it: . Google books also shows a ton of usages. Search for "rollup aquisition" or "roll-up acquisition" to separate out this sense from the other usages. Hope that helps, William Pietri 02:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Investment vs Data Processing sense

After Levselector's edit, I changed the entry so that the investment sense is back as primary. Rollup is indeed used in the data-processing sense, but this article is clearly about the investment use. If this article grows, it might be necessary to make a disambiguation page. 24.215.235.168 (talk) 12:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

This DEFINITELY needs a disambiguation page

This is a (relatively) new construct added to the "GROUP BY" portion of a "SELECT" command in SQL. Unfortunately, although I know a bit about it, I'm clearly not qualified (yet) to write the definition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfstutz (talk • contribs) 19:12, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Software Releases vs either the Investment Sense or the Data-Processing Sense

Just wanted to find that definition here, or redirected as well... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.99.178 (talk) 03:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Print / Marketing Material

I don't know what constitutes a "rollup" as far as print/marketing material, else I wouldn't have been trying to look it up on Wikipedia.com. I believe they usually has a large aspect ration (meaning the rollup is either much longer than it is wide or much wider than it is long). The name rollup I believe is from the fact that these materials usually rollup. Anyone got more info, links, etc? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.169.83.234 (talk) 20:37, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Rollup and monopoly

No-one seems to have mentioned that one benefit of rollup might be that it removes competition. When all competitors have been rolled up whats left might possibly be a monoply. surely this must make it more profitable regardless of any economies of scale?
