April 2019 Lighthouse Report April 2019 The Lighthouse Software Online & Digital Tech Enabled Business Services A Pharus Advisors Holdings, LLC Publication | www.pharus.com Pharus Observations Digital Marketing Capabilities are the New Hot Commodity The appetite for digital and online marketing solutions driven by consumer data and analytics has only increased in the first half of 2019. During April, the digital marketing space saw lively M&A activity, with a number of firms being snapped up by buyers from a range of industries. As much of the interaction between consumers and companies migrates online, companies are scrambling to acquire integrated digital marketing capabilities in order to keep up. Everyone, from consultancies to traditional marketing giants to financial sponsors have recognized the value in the space. On April 14th, the largest of these acquisitions took place when marketing and public relations conglomerate, Publicis (ENXTPA:PUB), acquired the data-driven digital marketing solutions provider, Epsilon Data Management for $4.4 billion. Epsilon’s wealth of first-party data will no doubt serve Publicis well in drawing marketers amid external cost pressure and the shift to digital. S4 Capital (LSE:SFOR), the marketing venture started by retired WPP founder, Sir Martin Sorrell, acquired programmatic solutions provider MightyHive in December 2018 for $150 million. S4’s push into digital started with its July 2018 acquisition of digital content company MediaMonks for $351.8 million and is now continued by this acquisition in digital media planning and programmatic ad-buying. In November 2018, Wisconsin-based printing company Quad/Graphics (NYSE:QUAD) acquired impact marketing and advertising agency, Periscope, for $132.5 million. Quad/Graphics CEO, Joel Quadracci said in the press release that the acquisition would “turbo-charge [their] existing offering with its world-class capabilities in strategy, including media buying and analytics, creative and account management.” We can expect to see further deal activity in the second half of 2019 as demand for these types of companies remains strong.

As companies around the globe continue to shift to the cloud, strategic and financial buyers are on the hunt for innovative cloud-based technology acquisitions. The global public cloud services market is estimated to be growing at 6.3% in 2020, bringing the total market size to $257.9 billion by the end of the year, up from $242.7 billion in 2019. Encumbered slightly during the first half of 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic, cloud growth is still expected to increase to 19.0% in 2021 and 18.6% in 2022, with the overall market reaching an estimated $354.6 million in 2022. On July 28, 2020, Network International announced the acquisition of The Direct Pay Online Group (DPO Group) for $288 million. The DPO Group operates a cloud-based eCommerce processing platform that supports multiple transaction types with online and offline capabilities for consumers. As a leader within the eCommerce enablement space in Africa, The DPO Group will help expand Network International’s regional footprint and digital commerce capabilities. Also, in late July, ESW Capital announced its intention to acquire Optiva Inc. for an estimated $256 million. Optiva provides cloud-native revenue management software to communication service providers around the world. This acquisition adds to ESW Capital’s extensive portfolio of mature software companies across a range of verticals with cloud capabilities.

These contemporary trends have an impact not only on operational costs, but also on real estate and labour markets. Companies’ cost sensitivity supports the decision to move part of the business i.e. back- or mid-office to cost-effective countries. This trend has boosted the development of the Business Services (BPO, SSC, R&D & ITO) and the CEE region, with its well educated workforce and competitive cost base, is one of the main beneficiaries. The aim of this report is to present the whole region for the benefit of foreign investors in the most comprehensive way. 2 3 © 2017 CBRE | BUSINESS SERVICES DESTINATIONS IN CENTRAL EUROPE CE REGION Although, the term ’Central Europe’ has several meanings across different industries, CBRE includes the following countries for the purposes of our report.
