eDiscovery Mergers, Acquisitions, and Investments in Q3 2019
Since beginning to track the number of publicly highlighted merger, acquisition, and investment (M&A+I) events in the eDiscovery ecosystem, ComplexDiscovery has noted approximately 400 M&A+I events between November 2001 and today.
While not all-inclusive due to the fact that M&A+I events are not always publicly disclosed and some announcements are intent-based and not the actual completion of an event, the abridged listing of M&A+I events maintained by ComplexDiscovery notes key industry events by sharing event date, company involvement, and event amount (if known).
Based on an aggregate review of the abridged listing through the lens of Q3 2019, the following findings, data points, and tracking charts may be useful for understanding M&A+I activity patterns in the eDiscovery ecosystem from July 1, 2019, through September 21, 2019.
Five Key Findings
- There have been at least nine M&A+I events in the eDiscovery ecosystem during Q3 2019. (Chart 1)
- July was the most active month in Q3 2019 for M&A+I events with at least five total events. (Chart 1)
- September was the least active month in Q3 2019 for M&A+I events with one known event. (Chart 1)
- The investment pulse rate for the three months of Q3 2019 appears to be slightly higher than the Q3 investment pulse rate in 2018. (Chart 2)
- Q3 2019 investment pulse rate appears the third-highest Q3 investment pulse rate in the last five years. (Chart 2)
