Acquisitions

In March 2014, we completed the acquisition of Marshall & Swift/Boeckh ("MSB") and DataQuick Information Systems ("DataQuick"). In addition, we acquired the assets of the credit, flood services and automated valuation model operations of DataQuick Lending Solutions and certain intellectual property assets of Decision Insight Information Group S.à r.l. The total consideration paid in connection with the MSB/DataQuick acquisition was approximately $650.1 million in cash, which was funded through borrowings. The acquisition of MSB/DataQuick significantly expands our footprint in property and casualty insurance and adds additional scale to our existing property data and analytics business, which is a contributing factor to the recording of goodwill. The operations of MSB's and DataQuick's data licensing and analytics units are reported within our D&A segment and DataQuick's flood zone determination and credit servicing operations are reported within our TPS segment. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, which included significant unobservable inputs. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The purchase price allocation is subject to change based on our final determination of fair value. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
