Blackpeak Technology Market Update: IT Services
Blackpeak are pleased to present a market update on the IT Services sector in ANZ which includes key trends on M&A & financings as well as valuation benchmarking data.
M&A activity in ANZ has been predominately related to bolt-on acquisitions with the ‘buy & build’ strategy continuing to be a common theme amongst the IT Services sector in ANZ (both public & private) as companies look to increase scale and add specialist capabilities through M&A.
Recent platform investments include BGH’s acquisition of NZ-based Managed Services provider Fusion5 (Dec-23) whilst Cyber & Managed Security provider AU Cloud (ASX:SOV) recently raised $30m to fund 3 acquisitions (Mar-24).
The outlook for IT Services remains strong with spending to continue to be underpinned by digital transformation and outsourced managed services along with an increased focus on Cyber Security & AI as companies look to stay on top of security and respond to customer demand around how to incorporate AI into their service offering.
