Building Ahead of Schedule
More than just software:
A New Hybrid Business Unit
Background
A major European industrial group wanted to broaden its value chain and increase its legitimacy in energy efficiency by integrating a software component dedicated to energy monitoring, in order to increase its value and its sustainable impact.
Approach
More than 100 specialized software solutions were analyzed to assess their strategic fit, technological performance and potential for synergies with the client's activities. A blueprint was designed to structure a future business unit combining software and services. Discussions have been initiated with 6 key players in the market.
Impact
An agreement in principle (LOI) has been signed with one of the most relevant software companies, paving the way for a strategic acquisition. This merger will allow the customer to strengthen its integrated energy efficiency offer for manufacturers.
