IT Consulting

IT Consulting has been a stable industry over the last several years, typically increasing at a GDP+ growth rate (~3%). With investors seeking growth rates exceeding GDP, many larger firms pursue acquisitions to fuel their top line. Besides a need for growth, IT Consulting consolidation is being driven by a desire to acquire talent both off-shore (in Eastern Europe and Asia) and near-shore (Latin America). With concerns that the global economy may be nearing a peak, we believe consolidation will continue as a means to offset potentially declining macro trends.
