/in /by

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Health & Life Sciences (“H&LS”) and the Defense & Public Sector (“D&P”) business units of our client, Information Management Consultants, Inc. (“IMC” or the “Company”), by CALIBRE Systems, Inc. (“CALIBRE”).

Headquartered in Reston, VA, IMC is a leading provider of health informatics, enterprise content management, and technology solutions to government and commercial customers.  IMC’s H&LS and D&P groups deliver valuable solutions to Federal agencies in the health, defense, and other civilian markets, and have significant domain expertise and long-term relationships with strategic end customers such as National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), and Department of State (“DOS”), as well as select commercial healthcare clients.  Leveraging a network of Subject Matter Experts (“SME”) and technologists, IMC delivers solutions via a holistic approach by providing a complete range of services from problem identification through execution.

In addition to a complementary set of core capabilities and technology expertise between the two companies, IMC’s H&LS and D&P businesses offer CALIBRE unique access to new customers in the Federal health market, including NIH and several of its core directorates, as well as provide resources and experience that supplement CALIBRE’s existing presence and expertise with several key defense and homeland security customers.

We believe this transaction demonstrates several key trends in the government services M&A environment:

  • Strategic buyers continue to target M&A opportunities that address strategic gaps, especially in well-funded markets such as healthcare
  • Differentiation remains paramount to attracting acquisition interest, whether it is technological capability, intellectual property, customer access, or business development
  • Buyers and investors are increasingly focused on companies with strong past performance, customer relationships, unrestricted prime contracts, and near-term revenue visibility
  • Mid-tier strategic buyers are becoming increasingly focused on deploying capital through acquisitions as a viable growth strategy
