Acquisition International Finance Awards 2015
CloudOrigin is honoured to have been voted two prestigious awards at the Finance Awards, 2015:
- Best IT Strategy & Advisory Firm 2015
- Award for Innovation in SaaS
We firmly believe this year’s awards reflect the range of investment research, transaction advisory and TMT sector consulting and strategy projects we have performed on behalf of pioneering technology firms, specialist investors and their portfolio companies.
Industry climate
Whether advising Vitruvian on their investment in internet telephony and communication provider Voxbone, or MMC Ventures growth funding for drone specialist Sky Futures or CRM in the cloud and Salesforce partner Cloudsense, or Orange Growth Capital’s investment in anti-fraud specialist Salviol we have worked on many exciting projects in the last twelve months combining Software as a Service with Big Data with Machine Learning.
Furthermore, in 2015 we have seen dramatic increase in range of M&A and Investment deals across EMEA in developed and developing markets, resurgence in interest in datacenter and managed hosting segment albeit with investors demanding clear business models and credible growth plans, and continued rapid global expansion of SaaS providers from Europe reaching global audiences.
Our Three Core Advisory Principles
Firstly, put the business impact of technology foremost, and speak in a language that investors will understand. Secondly, build trust with the client to prove that we really understand the innovation and service delivery processes at the heart of their firm and the challenges they will encounter at each stage of evolution. Thirdly, give pragmatic actionable advice rather than simply flagging issues.
