MUNICH | January 22nd, 2013 - In light of the strong challenges faced by the “IT Services and Software” sector, PAC and LD&A Jupiter help optimise business assets and accelerate long term M&A and financing operations.
The French IT Services and Software industry (IT Services, outsourced R&D, Technology advisory, Software…) is powerful and diverse. It notably comprises 2 actors among the global Top 10 players and over 100 companies with revenues of over 30m€.
This industry is now confronted with several challenges: a slowdown of economic growth, the emergence of foreign competitors, the impact of technological ruptures (cloud, mobility…) and the change in client user patterns.
Consequently, area players must re-examine their strategy, review their business models, and consider new options to pursue or accelerate development. These options often include external growth, disinvestment, internationalisation, merging with larger companies, which in turn may require the access to new funding.
This very context has lead “PAC” & “LD&A Jupiter” to combine their expertise to supply their clients in the area with PAC’s extensive know-how (strategic & marketing), both companies’ contact networks in France and abroad and the experience and proficiency of “LD&A Jupiter” in the area of mergers & acquisitions and growth financing.
