Summary of Report -
This IDC study provides an overview and analysis of M&A deals in 3Q11 across all major sectors of the information and communication technology industry, including enterprise IT infrastructure, telecommunications, enterprise applications, IT services, semiconductors and components, Internet, and mobile."The M&A scene in the third quarter was very much in line with the trends identified in the first half of 2011, particularly in the second quarter. Social media, mobile, cloud, Big Data, and other emerging technology fields still provide ICT vendors with significant growth opportunities. Coupled with the large cash piles of major IT vendors and the availability of private equity capital, the conditions are in place for M&A volumes to stabilize at current levels in the coming quarters. On the other hand, we will likely see a decrease in deal valuations if economic uncertainly persists."- Dan Yachin, research director, IDC EMEA Emerging Technologies
