SNP Reports Increase in M&A Projects in Q1 2017
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 20, 2017 -- SNP is reporting a globally increased interest in intelligently automated data migration related to M&A activity in the first quarter 2017.
Market trends show Energy and Power was the leading sector, clocking a 62% increase from the previous year. The Materials sector was second in volume, despite a decrease from 2016 levels. Rounding out the top 3 was Healthcare with a 61% increase year over year. Bringing up the rear were telecom, media, and retail, which saw a 48% decline for the previous year’s period.
The US took the lead in deal making, up 16% from 2016, while Chinese transactions plummeted due to strict regulation on transactions over $2 billion dollars.
Despite the activity, the truth is most of these deals will continue with the overall trend and fail to see shareholder value, and many of the deals will result in destroying it. Dr. Steele Arbeeny, Chief Technology Officer at SNP recently addressed the key reason for this.
“The number one reason for failed M&A projects is speed of integration. Whether I’m speaking with the CIO, CFO, or CEO of a company, they all want the same thing- the technology integration and data migration done as quickly as possible, without raising the risk threshold. This eliminates a critical hurdle in the deal, so there can be shareholder value realized” Dr. Arbeeny said.
SNP has developed a method that is used by the most successful organizations to streamline their M&A project timeline. An exclusive webinar for this topic will be held on July 27th. Learn more here "M&A in a Weekend Webinar"
