IT Consulting

IT Consulting is considered a mature industry which typically grows in line with GDP (~3%); however it is highly fragmented with significant amount of smaller players.  As such, many of the larger players look to M&A as a means to add additional fuel to 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.
