Results International is highly active in the technology sector
and has a large number of active mandates across the entire
advisory spectrum, ranging from help with acquisitions, fundraising
and developing business strategy through to exit planning.
Our technology credentials were strengthened further in 2011
through our US joint venture with New York-based Group Argent, a
specialist technology advisory firm. The benefits for our clients
include greater access to US-based investors and strategic buyers
as well as encouraging cross-border deals, which currently account
for around 50 percent of Results' total activity.
We work in a number of sectors within technology, including:
Online advertising is a huge growth sector that is now
overtaking more traditional media and offers global revenue in the
billions of pounds. We advise technology businesses that support
all aspects of digital marketing, such as tracking, measurement and
insight.
The likes of Facebook, Twitter and Google+ are some of the most
dynamic environments in the world at present, leading to
significant demand for technology that allows organisations to
track and monetise their social media presence. Results works with
providers and buyers keen to build their expertise in this
fast-moving space.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Another fast-growing area, 'on-demand' or 'cloud' software
from SaaS providers has become increasingly popular for a wide
range of business applications. We advise businesses that
provide software as managed services.
Smaller, independent businesses are often at the cutting edge of
new technology, particularly in areas such as video and
mobile content. We help them find high-level business
partners to ensure brands and advertisers have access to the unique
technologies they have to offer.
The e-commerce market is growing massively, seemingly immune to
any hiccups in the bricks-and-mortar retail markets. We work with
many of the companies whose technology underpins that expansion,
such as software, platform and tool providers.
With so much activity in the mobile and m-commerce sector, many
buyers are crying out for new technology that will help them stand
at the crest of the wave. Results International advises providers
of mobile software, platforms and advertising, ensuring they get
the investment and strategic opportunities they need to take
advantage of that demand.
