Mergers and Acquisitions
NET(net) is the premier partner for many of the world's largest Private Equity firms. We are the number one producer of value for Blackstone partners consistently year in and year out.
M&A Pitfalls:
- Vendors asking outrageous and undefendable fees for combining licenses
- Vendors seeing this as an opportunity to exercise audit provisions and asses unplanned fees
- Complexity in amending agreements
- Failure to future proof agreements post 'carve out'
Where NET(net) adds value:
- Pre Deal: We will do an assessment of your environment, which includes: the hardware, software and services your organization is using. We will also do an assessment for self reliance that will look at whether integration or segmentation would be the better answer.
- Post Deal: NET(net) will also do an assessment for self reliance in this stage and will look at transition services expense minimization and whether integration or stand-alone would work better for your company. NET(net) will take a look at supplier portfolio rationalization and the supplier negotiations.
