But the opportunity is now

Volume plays Niche service plays Technology plays


Type of
company (established service (unique capabilities) (product/ platform
portfolio, good companies)
customer base)

Potential Hold out if you have Build alliances and


M&A capital; consider Raise capital and partnerships to
strategy combination acquire improve market access
initiatives over 12-18 and monetization
months avenues

Imperatives Long term value is Building customers on Challenge to monetize


in scale the back of capabilities IP without partnerships

Key sale considerations

• Invest in niches [Infrastructure Management, PO, Research and


Analytics, Vertical based specializations]

• Acquire profitability [not only revenue]

• Don’t like 1,500 clients for 30M$ revenue [key account focus]

• Open to partial staggered buys/ strategic partnerships

In summary

• Deal activity expected to pick up by the end of 2009

• Now is the time to actively prepare for M&A

• Partial strategic divestments, partnerships and combinations effective


strategy for emerging companies

• Building competitive differentiators key to succeeding in the M&A


market
