The document summarizes key trends in technology M&A for 2017. Some of the top trends driving deal activity that year included increased cash holdings by strategic and financial buyers creating demand for acquisitions, the need to acquire other companies to stay competitive given disruptive technology changes, and greater participation in M&A by global buyers. Private equity firms were highly active in deals that year, with the top 10 PE buyers averaging more deals than the top strategic buyers. Artificial intelligence and related technologies like big data and analytics were driving M&A deals across many sectors.
LinkedIn's announcement of a $175 million IPO has reignited the debate around whether hugely successful internet companies should go public. LinkedIn is one of the largest professional networking sites and is poised for a blockbuster IPO after tripling its revenue between 2007-2009. While LinkedIn would not be the first internet company to IPO recently, its size and success in social networking means its IPO could have significant ripple effects on other major internet companies considering going public. However, there are also risks to consider for internet companies in taking the plunge to go public, including loss of focus, increased scrutiny, and potential loss of control.

Cognizant is the only company to earn a place in the list of Forbes fastest growing technology companies every year since the list’s inception. Its intriguing growth leaves us inquisitive – is there a framework to excel? Has Cognizant found the same? It is known that the book Built to Last by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras influenced Francisco D’Souza (CEO of Cognizant) the most. He is committed to establish a “cult like” culture focused on core values. But, beyond this, does their dual mandate of run better and run different have any role in their monumental growth? Cognizant is not only preaching about helping their clients to transform in order to run better and run different but also walking the talk by practicing the dual mandate within organization from its early days. This paper digs into Cognizant’s history and current trends to understand what they have done to run better and run different.

3. Microsoft and LinkedIn lead the M&A parade as the
U.S. market stays strong after a record-breaking 2015.
Technology companies are among the largest and
most important economic actors in the U.S., so the
industry generally commands the attention of financial
professionals and the general public.
That attraction is never more powerful than
when two tech giants hook up in a blockbuster
merger. The first half of 2016 saw one of those
major transactions when software behemoth
Microsoft Corp. agreed to acquire LinkedIn Corp.,
the pioneering social media network for business
people, in a transaction valued at $26.2 billion.
Given the ubiquity of both merger partners,
everyone reading this is likely just a click away
from a product supplied by one of them. So the
deal generated some of the biggest headlines
we’ve seen so far this year. The deal seems even
larger and more important given the continued
strength of the M&A market.

4. The Year in
Tech M&A So Far
After the feverish pace of transactions last year, many experts expected
a letdown. And with the equity markets getting off to an uncertain start
and political turmoil sapping confidence on both sides of the Atlantic,
the falloff might have been dramatic. However, M&A activity has held up
remarkably well.
“Given some of the headwinds we’ve experienced — market volatility,
Brexit, gridlock in Washington — the M&A market has been resilient,” says
David Henkel, vice president and chief technology officer of Toppan Vite, a
global leader in financial communication. “The U.S. technology industry in
particular is producing some significant transactions. And we already have
yet another transformative deal with Verizon acquiring Yahoo.”
Over 1,900 transactions were announced in the first half of 2016, up from
just over 1,400 for the same period a year ago, according to data from The
Deal. In the technology space, nearly 460 deals were announced in the first
half this year, compared to 285 last year. Of that total, 29 deals were valued
at more than $1 billion, and five topped the $10 billion mark.
While Microsoft-LinkedIn is the largest technology deal currently
in the works, the biggest deal of the year won’t happen. In March,
Honeywell International Inc. walked away from its proposed $91
billion acquisition of United Technologies Corp. The target resisted
the unsolicited bid, suggesting that the combination would likely sink
under regulatory scrutiny.
Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote continued to extol the virtues of
the deal as he announced the end of discussions and the companies have
held merger talks in the past. In addition, UTC’s stock price fell about 5%
after Honeywell pulled out, leading some observers to speculate that the
target might feel pressure to resurrect the potential deal. But many experts
and shareholders share UTC’s regulatory fears, so the deal is unlikely to
show up in the year-end totals.

5. The Year in Tech M&A Continued
Despite that high-profile collapse, the technology industry continues
to draw attention, investment and takeover bids. And Microsoft and
LinkedIn weren’t the only household names to make M&A news. For
example, car hire service Uber Technologies Inc. in June received a
$3.5 billion infusion from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The
investment, and other recent fundraising efforts, reportedly valued
Uber at more than $60 billion.
Software was a particularly active sector for M&A in the first half,
with the biggest deal being Thoma Bravo LLC’s $3 billion deal for QLik
Technologies Inc. The biggest name, though, was customer relationship
management specialist Salesforce.com Inc., which paid $2.8 billion for
Demandware Inc., just missing the top 10. Other significant software
deals included Vista Equity Partners LLC’s $1.8 billion buyout of Marketo
Inc. and the $509 million acquisition of SciQuest Inc. by Accel-KKR LLC.
Elsewhere, Rovi Corp, which provides guides that allow TV viewers
to search and select programs, paid $1.1 billion in May for TiVo Inc.,
which makes devices that record and stream those TV shows. On the
hardware front, printer maker Lexmark International Inc. agreed in
April to be acquired by a Chinese group led by Apex Technology Co. Ltd.
and PAG Asia Capital.
The Lexmark acquisition highlights another characteristic of this M&A
market: The enthusiastic participation of ambitious buyers from China.
In February, Tianjin Tianhai Investment Co. Ltd. paid $6 billion for Irvine,
Calif.-based Ingram Micro Inc., a distributor of IT products. In April,
a group of investors led by Libin Sun offered to acquire chipmaker
Integrated Device Technology Inc., of San Jose, Calif., for $4 billion.
One word of caution: While the investors reportedly held a stake
in the target, whether the bid is a genuine expression of interest
remains unclear.
Whether the IDT deal materializes, Chinese buyers will likely rank
among the most active as consolidation continues in several
technology sectors, including software and semiconductors.

6. The Year in Tech M&A Continued
“We shouldn’t underestimate the influence China will continue
to exert on the global economy,” notes Henkel of Toppan Vite.
“Companies there are pursuing growth as aggressively as their rivals
around the world.”
The list of potential targets also includes several household names,
chief among them Twitter Inc. The social media and micro-blogging
service has had difficulty convincing Wall Street that it can continue
to add users and increase revenue, raising the question of whether it
should find a larger, more well-heeled partner.
That chatter became louder after the LinkedIn deal, as the
transaction is seen as a model for Twitter. The talk grew louder still
after Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff let it be known that he had
considered an acquisition of Twitter before launching his bid for
Demandware, a deal that closed in July.
Other big names potentially on the block include chipmaker Xilinx Inc.
— which could draw interest from larger rivals such as Qualcomm Inc.
or Broadcom Ltd. — and International Game Technology, a Las Vegas-
based casino game maker that is apparently hoping for a better deal
than what might result from its discussions with Italy’s Gtech SpA.
While it’s not clear which, if any, of those companies will end up as
takeover targets, the M&A market should remain strong for the rest
of the year. The next big headlines could come anytime and could
certainly include several well-known companies. Stay tuned.
“Barring some unforeseen event, the M&A market should solidify as
some of the geopolitical clouds begin to clear in the second half,” says
Toppan Vite’s David Henkel. “Risk and uncertainty won’t magically
vanish, but executives should be better able to assess the landscape as
new realities settle in.”
