Testimonials from clients we have helped through a merger or acquisition process:
“Motel 6 was in the middle of a carve-out of an independent business from our prior European parent. In the process of setting up our separate operations, we were in negotiations with a major IT supplier with a very limited amount of time and many business and technical complexities. In particular, working the IT Supplier organization across borders and in a leveraged position was very difficult. With about one month until the new organization needed to be in place, we still did not have an acceptable financial offer from IT Supplier, and we had concerns about the configuration of the offer. The assistance of NET(net) was invaluable and they were highly responsive in a very busy period for the business. In 10 days, and as a team, we delivered a final negotiated deal with a configuration that maximized the flexibility for Motel 6 going forward, corrected several problematic issues in the agreement, achieved over $1.3M in additional savings, and configured the solution to avoid over $700K of future capital spending. It was a great partnership. ”

“After a large merger, DJO faced a big challenge in negotiating technology agreements that would enable the newly combined company to bring disparate processes together and to leverage its increased size and scale. We initiated discussions with our software suppliers on our own, but during the course of negotiations, it became clear that we would benefit from professional assistance. Our private equity owner, Blackstone, introduced us to NET(net). The results of the negotiation were millions of dollars worth of savings and benefits. Going forward, we would not consider large scale technology related investments without seeking professional representation.”
