Sector: Enterprise Software M&A

Hampleton advised Omnio.net ApS on its transaction with IBM.

Omnio’s flagship product, Omnio Edge, connects operational technology (OT) to IT systems and unifies the data for use in IoT and Industry 4.0 initiatives, such as advanced analytics, monitoring and predictive maintenance. Omnio Edge captures data directly from assets and with its prebuilt OT Connectors, the challenge of understanding device manuals and coding and testing integrations is eliminated and replaced with a simple, user-friendly interface.

Omnio Edge will become part of IBM's Sustainability Software portfolio, thus advancing IBM’s AI strategy with the development of integrated capabilities in areas such as Intelligent Asset Management. The product will be integrated into several IBM offerings beginning with the Maximo Application Suite, to enable clients from asset-intensive industries to focus on what their assets should do, identify issues faster and work on strategies to mitigate risks.

Banking Software Company and its flagship product Digital Banking OS help retail, corporate & investment and wealth management banks to transition from product-centric to customer-centric organizations by allowing them to orchestrate digital cross-channel customer journeys.

The transaction is instrumental in the creation of a new Central European digital banking powerhouse with PortfoLion as financial sponsor, combining the Banking Software Company, operating in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia, together with W.UP operating in Hungary and the United Kingdom. The management and shareholders of the Banking Software Company and W.UP all are staying in the combined business.

Hampleton Partners advised on the sale of BaseCase Management GmbH, a data visualisation software as a service (SaaS) company to US-based Certara, the global leader in model-informed drug development and regulatory science.
