The IT consulting industry remains an attractive investment sector for both industrial and financial investors. However, investors have become increasingly selective in recent years, establishing clear investment criteria. Meanwhile, IT firms encounter increasingly challenging market conditions, such as escalating salary expectations, cautious customers with postponed projects, and fierce competition for top IT consultants. These consultants seek opportunities with leading players offering robust projects and a diverse range of technologies. Oaklins has executed numerous transactions within the IT consulting industry in recent years, granting us a comprehensive understanding of relevant investors, alternative transaction structures, financial conditions, and the ability to facilitate optimal processes.Erik Faureng, Partner at Oaklins Norway
