IT Services Market in Canada: An Examination of Merger and Acquisition Activity, 2021

This IDC Market Perspective provides an overview and analysis of IT and business services sector M&A deals announced in Canada. The document is limited to M&A deals of select service providers in Canada from 2016 to 2021. Dating back to 2016, M&A activity has been consistent, averaging between eight and nine transactions per year. 2020 was an unusual year for every sector of Canadian economy including the IT and business services sector, witnessing a decline in spending and acquisitions. However, in 2021, M&A volumes rose as demand for new digital capabilities expanded and large, global services firms used their cash and other capital resources to acquire smaller firms that have faced pandemic-related challenges. "Looking ahead into 2022, we expect the M&A market to be strong as the fundamental drivers remain in place, led by intense competition between corporates, strategic shift to digital, innovative and disruptive business models, and strong debt and equity markets," says Anu Mehta, senior research analyst, IT Markets at IDC Canada.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
