The increasing speed of technological change poses new challenges for almost every industry. This also applies to the already dynamic technology, media and telecommunications industry, which is constantly reinventing itself. The effects of this rapid change mean that companies have to constantly reposition themselves in the market and rethink and adapt existing business models. This requires companies to develop and deliver new capabilities and technologies – or consider discarding models that are no longer needed – to remain successful in the long term.
Convergence is everywhere, in every industry, in every business model. Within the technology, media and telecommunications industries, this is not just a convergence within their own industry, for example, with telecom companies becoming publishers of media content. It should also be seen as an accelerator outside its own sector. Almost every company today is a technology company as well. It is important to take advantage of the growth opportunities that arise. The acquisition, spin-off, sale or merger is a significant transformation step. This requires the meticulous support of experts to identify all the opportunities and risks associated with your planned move. Our deals team is here for you.
