HIMSS 2017- who will win the battle between the doom sayers and the optimists?

Healthcare IT, Healthcare Newsletter, Newsletter 0 Comments

Dear Clients and Friends, Please click here for our March 2017 HIT Market Update. Last week we attended HIMSS, the largest HIT conference. Although we were warned that the mood could be somewhat subdued, and despite a few cautionary signs, we came back inspired by the technologies we saw, the entrepreneurs we met and the outlook for the future. Here are a few of our observations. 1. Most vendors appeared cautiously optimistic. Whether TrumpCare repeals or replaces ACA, people believe that the same IT sectors such as data integration, analytics, care management, and consumer technologies will remain as key priorities…

Timing – it’s not about luck. It’s about taking control. Our February 2017 Market Update

Fintech, In the News, Market Update 0 Comments

As you will see from our report found here, the m&a values and trends in the dozen+ sectors of the information technology industry that we follow and sometimes lead have remained at the relatively high levels that we’ve been seeing since about late 2014.

Buyer/investor interest is not limited to the US. Our four deals included a UK company, a Canadian, a Swiss buyer, and our second recent m&a transaction involving Japanese investors.

Big Data, Analytics, and Politics. Our February 2017 Enterprise Data & Analytics Update

Enterprise Data, In the News, Market Update, Uncategorized 0 Comments

Please see our latest update on m&a trends for the four segments of the Enterprise Data & Analytics sector that we follow and sometimes lead, here. In December we wrote a blog post on why Data & Analytics failed the pundits predicting the outcome of the Brexit referendum and our recent Presidential Election. A few weeks ago, in our Fintech Market Update, we noted that, in spite of the fears raised by many of these same pundits, following both events, interest rates did not skyrocket – they fell; and securities markets did not crater; they rose. The sky has not…

Healthcare IT, Healthcare Newsletter, Market Update, Uncategorized 0 Comments

Dear Clients and Friends, Click here for our January 2017 HIT Market Update. It is a new year. Time again to take out our crystal ball and share our top predictions for 2017. In keeping with our tradition, we have tried to think beyond some of the headlines such as the repeal of Obamacare and how that could slow down IT adoption. Instead we have attempted to enumerate the more subtle shifts that could impact the most active sectors for capital raising and M&A. AI will move beyond the brute force of using lots of processors and large memories. The…
