Building a successful business in the technology services sector can be quite challenging, especially considering the highly competitive, global and fast changing nature of the industry where finding reliable capital or strategic partners is a critical yet complex endeavor. To address this critical need, Avendus—an investment banking specialist and a global leader in financial services through its Enterprise Technology and Services (ET&S) practice- provides impactful capital solutions to mid-market technology service companies. The ET&S practice plays a crucial role in delivering unique fund raising and M&A outcomes to clients by connecting them to a global network of funds and strategic acquirers. “We pride ourselves as partners for growth by providing technology entrepreneurs global access to optimal capital and right strategic partners,” says Puneet Shivam, President, of Avendus US and global Co-head of ET&S banking.

As Shivam emphasizes, it is easy to understand why Avendus precisely fits the role of a business catalyst for technology services organizations. To set the context, consider the increasingly pervasive digital revolution of the next generation leaders—Uber owns no cars, Airbnb owns no properties.

The role of IT has morphed from being an enabler to being the core business itself, from largely isolated legacy systems to being a cloud-based, data driven, connected ecosystem. This has pushed enterprises to their technology toes, aspiring to transform their IT DNA by adding digital capabilities, always available cloud-based services, impactful analytics, intelligent automation, and seamless omni-channel interactions. In this rapidly transforming environment, Avendus delivers a portfolio of capital solutions that enable midmarket established and fast-growing technology companies to accelerate their growth trajectories through access to innovative global capital and strategic partners.
