KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Global Net Services on its Sale to Information Innovators
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the acquisition of our client, Global Net Services, Inc. (“GNSI” or the “Company”), by Information Innovators Inc. (“Triple-i”), a portfolio company of DFW Capital Partners. The acquisition provides additional Healthcare Information Technology (“HIT”) qualifications to Triple-ii and further expands its Federal healthcare presence into the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).
Headquartered in Rockville, MD, GNSI is a leading provider of application development, systems and software engineering, and business intelligence services for Federal Government customers, primarily within the FDA. The Company has significant expertise in advanced technologies and demonstrates strong thought leadership within the Federal HIT arena. GNSI leverages a set of proprietary methodologies and processes, and maintains a cadre of highly skilled personnel, with deep subject matter expertise and professional certifications.
GNSI’s strong performance within the FDA resulted in a prime award on the FDA’s multi-billion dollar Enterprise System Life Cycle Management Support (“ELMS”) acquisition program, and to date, the Company remains one of the most successful contractors on the vehicle.
As a key addition to Triple-i’s HIT strategy, GNSI provides access to a new customer set to expand on Triple-i’s healthcare presence in the Department of Veterans Affairs. In addition, GNSI will benefit from Triple-i’s diverse breadth of IT capabilities in order to enhance its support to the FDA and its efforts to protect public health by ensuring the safety and efficacy of the nation’s food and drug supply.
We believe this transaction demonstrates several key trends in the government solutions M&A environment:
• Differentiation remains paramount to attracting acquisition interest, whether it is technology, intellectual property, or customer access
• Prime positions on large, long-term contract vehicles that transition to the acquirer drive value; however, buyers and investors are increasingly focused on companies with strong past performance, customer relationships, and a track record of awards under these vehicles
• Enhanced level of private equity investor participation both as a direct buyer (seeking a platform) and via existing portfolio companies
KippsDeSanto & Co. is an investment bank focused on delivering exceptional M&A and financing transaction results for leading technology and defense companies. For more information on KippsDeSanto & Co., please visit www.kippsdesanto.com.
