Transaction Volume weakened slightly for LTM versus 2012 due to a slow down in Q1 2013 Cloud & IT Management and Vertical Market segments accounted for nearly half of the deal volume The Q1 drop off in M&A Activity was expected following the push to close deals in 2012 for tax considerations The Median LTM Revenue Multiple paid for private company targets has come down from the 2010 high of 4.0x but remains healthy at 3.5x Hot companies and sectors can see double digit multiple exits but those are the exception with most companies being acquired at much more reasonable multiples The Median LTM Revenue Multiple paid for public company targets above $100M fell to 2.7x from a 2010 high of 4.4x Fewer high growth, pure-play public SaaS companies were acquired in the last twelve months than

numbers reflect a drop in large transactions with just $2B in dollar volume from deals over $200M for Q1’13 compared to $7.9B for Q1’12 However, dollar volume for deals under $200M has improved nearly 50% in Q1 ‘13 versus the prior year quarter, jumping to $1.8B from $1.25B Capstone Partners 8 CapstoneInvestment BankingPartners Advisors Investment Banking Advisors 8 LTM M&A Transaction Volume by Segment Transaction volume has also risen steadily, more than doubling from 273 deals in 2008 to 565 deals LTM The slight drop for LTM vs. 2012 is not surprising given the push to get deals done in

Investment Banking Advisors 9 LTM M&A Transaction Volume by Deal Size – Private Targets Private company deal volume jumped significantly in 2012 and remains strong in Q1’13, though down slightly from

CapstoneInvestment BankingPartners Advisors Investment Banking Advisors 11 Median LTM Revenue Multiples – Private Targets The Median LTM Revenue Multiple paid for private company targets has come down from the 2010 high of 4.0x but remains healthy at 3.5x Hot companies and sectors can see double digit multiple exits but those are the exception with most companies being acquired at much more reasonable multiples Capstone Partners 12 CapstoneInvestment BankingPartners Advisors Investment Banking Advisors 12 Median LTM Revenue Multiples – Public Targets The Median LTM Revenue Multiple paid for public company targets above $100M fell to 2.7x from a 2010 high of 4.4x Fewer high growth, pure-play public SaaS companies were acquired in the last twelve months than in 2010 and 2011 With less than 25 public company target data points in a given year, the median multiple tends to be quite volatile and is not necessarily indicative of M&A valuations in the broader market Capstone Partners 13

    Automatic Trust Based Segregation for Mobile Devices

    The Interdisciplinary Center, Herzlia Efi Arazi School of Computer Science Automatic trust based segregation for mobile devices M.Sc. Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.) Research Track in Computer Science Submitted by Oren Poleg Under the supervision of Dr. David Movshovitz (IDC) June, 2015 Acknowledgments I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Dr. David Movshovitz. Without his guidance and persistent help this dissertation would not have been possible. His thorough knowledge of information security was a valuable asset for this work. Dr. Movshovitz invested a substantial amount of time, beyond the regular office hours, so I could fulfill my commitments and for this I want to extend my sincere gratitude. I would also like to thank Prof. Anat Bremler-Bar for her encouragement and assistance. I feel privileged to have worked together with Dr. Movshovitz and Prof. Bremler-Bar. Working with such professionals was an inspirational experience for me. Last but not least, my dear wife Einat who provided me with the time and space to write this paper. ii Abstract Mobile devices have become an essential part of our lives. These devices hold much of our personal information such as contact lists, calendar appointments and private messages. Writers of applications for mobile devices are trying to get hold of personal information. Application such as WhatsApp and Viber needs this information for justified causes, as their business is built on sending messages to people in the contact list. Other applications may use personal information for targeted advertisement, and sometimes for malicious purposes.

  • Social Media Time Management Strategies for Tackling Information Overload Getting Organized

    Social Media Time Management Strategies for Tackling Information Overload Getting Organized

    Social Media Time Management Strategies for Tackling Information Overload Getting Organized Information overload is real, but it’s something that’s in your control. Managing your time in social media is first and foremost about deciding where to spend your time and why, and that requires a little bit of organization to start with. What Are You In This For? If your goal is to be engaged in social media for pleasure or just for personal connections, your approach is rather simple. You’ll choose the tools and sites where you find folks with common interests, and you’ll tuck the time in out- side your other responsibilities. But if you’re in this for business, at least in part, you’re going to need to think through some clearer goals than that Here are five sets of questions to ask yourself: 1) Realistically, how many hours do I have to spend in social media each day? Do I have resources/people other than me? What can I expect of them? (Note: if you’re serious about doing social, you need to find an hour a day to start with, at least.) 2) Which 2 or 3 tools and social networks make sense based on my listening efforts? What is my goal for participa- tion on those sites? What is the culture of those communities and how will my participation line up with that? 3) Have we evaluated our current online and offline communication efforts to determine what’s working and what we might supplement or replace with social media? Am I going to need to add this on to my existing responsibilities in order to prove its value before making trade-offs? 4) Has our leadership bought into this idea already, or am I establishing a presence so I can build a stronger case? Is time I spend on social media going to be viewed as an investment or a time sink? How do I make the case for the former? 5) What does success look like? How about failure? How can I measure both, even simplistically? (Hint: Objectives you can’t measure against are going to be really hard to celebrate or adjust, since you won’t know how you did either way).

  • RFI Template for Enterprise Mobile Device Management

    RFI Template for Enterprise Mobile Device Management

    RFI Template for Enterprise Mobile Device Management MDM SOLUTION – RFI TEMPLATE About This RFI Template A secure mobile device management solution is an integral part of any effective enterprise mobility program. Mobile devices are similar to other endpoints in the enterprise and require similar security as corporate issued desktops and laptops. Many businesses are also subject to regulatory requirements and compliance standards that drive the need for specific mobile security capabilities. Enterprise mobility is fast-changing with a crowded field of products and solutions from several vendors. Businesses have to choose carefully to pick the correct solution that will not only address their needs today but also those of the future. Not all MDM solutions are created equal. There are several products that only offer basic asset management capabilities for mobile devices. Some others support only a limited range of features on some platforms. Very few solutions offer a full complement of capabilities that address enterprise mobile security, availability, and manageability requirements that go beyond device management to address content security and “business-ready” apps. This document provides guidelines on key requirements that should be addressed by an MDM solution. The requirements for MDM solutions are grouped into the following categories: 1. Core MDM capabilities 2. Simplicity of MDM solution for administrators and end-users 3. End-to-end security and compliance 4. Enterprise-grade architecture 5. Best-in-class support, services and training © 2012 Zenprise, Inc. 2 MDM SOLUTION – RFI TEMPLATE 1 Core MDM Capabilities 1.1 Delivery Model: 1.1.1 Solution should provide deployment options that fit the business model and budget, with cloud and on-premises options, as well as a hybrid option with a mix of cloud solution and back-end integrations with LDAP, PKI, and application servers, as well as subscription options.
