G2 is seeing a resurgence in M&A activity and a cautious return and stabilization within thecredit markets as equity sponsors and lenders alike are moving past portfolio triage andlooking for opportunities to deploy pent-up capital. In this Newsletter, we will demonstrate therecent impacts on key Technology & Business Services sectors and how the related M&Amarket has performed in the 2nd quarter of 2020.

Over the last 5 years the ecommerce industry has been steadily growing at record rate, quarter over quarter. In Q2, with a rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, the consumer market has seen an even more dramatic transition to digital, online shopping and omnichannel. This drastic change in consumer behavior, recognizing an immediate shift away from brick-and-mortar stores due to pandemic related closures, has directly impacted the ecommerce industry. U.S. web sales are up 76.2% year over year, reaching a record $73.6 billion in June. Among many challenges to arise during COVID-19, consumers have been forced to establish new purchasing behaviors and habits, replacing traditional in-person shopping experiences with online ordering. Even as more states begin to reopen parts of their economies, the reliance on digital and omnichannel as a means to enable consumer purchases gains momentum. Many consumers will likely continue to shop online even when brick-and-mortar stores reopen, further cementing steady growth across all ecommerce product categories.

As individuals continue to settle into life’s “new normal” during the COVID-19 pandemic, manyindustries have seen a widespread adoption of automation and technology to solve every daybusiness processes and support the health and safety of employees and customers. Companiesacross the Real Estate Technology & Services industry have witnessed an unprecedented need toprovide their target customer base with products and services that mitigate challenges introducedunder COVID-19 conditions. Technology based tools are rapidly gaining traction in the real estatemanagement space as property managers and other property service providers are working to keeptheir buildings operating smoothly with minimal human contact. The pandemic is driving a consistentevolution in the way property managers handle their business operations and the digitization ofprocesses will be a top priority for many property managers going forward, with a focus on virtualtouring, virtual access, self-scheduling, digital, online shopping, and residential delivery protocols. Thismomentum will continue as property managers re-examine how they will conduct business in a post-COVID-19 world and search for products and services that not only save time and money, butpromote a safe environment for their occupants.

Industry / Market Insights (Cont.)Technology & Business Services

The need for swift action at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic sparked a movement across the U.S. and global workforce, reshaping business leaders’ attitudes about remote work environments. Government-enforced office closures across the world presented companies with a need to dedicate greater focus on digital transformation as a strategy to manage their workforce. Business leaders are re-evaluating their investment strategies to incorporate a larger commitment to technology-based solutions as a method to support the transition to a remote-work environment. As pandemic conditions have sustained, (86%) of U.S. employers grew more confident about remote working, yet recent surveys show the majority of employees are expected to return to the workplace in the future with the anticipation of a balance between remote and in-office work. Employers are expected to embrace this hybrid-model, investing in remote technology resources that will help solve for the overwhelming sentiment that in-person communication is crucial for business operations and development. In a post-covid-19 world, operational continuity will rely heavily on a coordinated effort across HR, IT and business leaders to provide thoughtful digital transformation strategies to support their workforce success.

IT Managed Service providers are seeing a continued shift in industry landscape and clear growth opportunities as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With IT playing an even more important role for companies across the world as they balance remote-work environments, managed solutions providers have become essential to surviving the evolving conditions of this challenging environment. As the economy has shifted to rely more heavily on digital services, many companies are turning to MSP’s to help propel their businesses into the post-COVID-19 workplace, offering solutions to help offload mundane or menial tasks from IT teams allowing to focus on delivering more innovative capabilities to enable firm success. Business leaders looking to the future are re-imagining how they can lean on MSP’s to provide safe and secure working environments in the anticipated hybrid workplace, with specific considerations for data centers, client cybersecurity, sales and marketing, as well as hiring processes. The drastic changes in workplace norms due to the COVID-19 pandemic has expedited organizations’ decision-making on the incorporation of technological advancements and managed solutions providers. This sustained dynamic has provided ample opportunities for MSPs to better serve their clients and mitigate challenging circumstances presented due to the pandemic.

Industry / Market Insights (Cont.)Technology & Business Services

The disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic confronted business leaders with unprecedented operational challenges and little to no line of sight to plausible solutions. The consulting industry, a $250 billion global market rooted in helping companies identify solutions, has risen to the occasion providing businesses with the support needed to navigate crisis-related challenges, and effectively transition into a more digitally focused, remote-workplace. Digital consulting firms, despite natural shifts to industry norms, are helping businesses survive the pandemic, providing guidance to retain and motivate employee bases through remote working environment and develop strategies for navigating compensation discussions. Since remote work highlights gaps in work processes themselves, companies will look to digital consultants to provide methodologies and work processes that help to digitize collaborative business strategies and drive sustained growth for the company. A downturn presents not only complex scenarios for companies but also opportunities for consultants to help them through the dark times, the work they are doing now to support companies through this rapid adoption of remote working environments, drives established credibility for a post-covid-19 world. Consultants demonstrate that they don’t just bring advice but that they have been involved in developing results in the past, they exist to help companies survive, and thrive once the market begins to recover.
