I know Morgan Stanley advised Hyperion. Not sure if Oracle used an advisor. If somebody knows...please fill in ! (Morgan Stanley was listed in the SEC Filling by Hyperion)
Oracle Corp dev hired a few guys from UBS to run their team, they do buyside in house.
What are the benefits of going inhouse?
I am not sure, but I thought CS advised Oracle on the Hyperion deal. Thought I read that somewhere.
CS played a minor role you are correct. However, Oracle's M&A team is majority ex-bulge guys who know their shit inside and out.
I think Oracle has used Investment banks for big deals such as
Morgan Stanley advised Oracle on acquisition of Siebel(Goldman Sachs) Morgan Stanley advised Oracle on acquisition of I-Flex (Merrill Lynch) Morgan Stanley advised Oracle on acquisition of Retek (Deutsche Bank) Credit Suisse advised Oracle on acquisition of People Soft (Goldman Sachs)
I know Oracle has a good relationship with Morgan Stanley as their President - Charles Philips worked previously as an analyst at Morgan Stanley.
However I guess for most of the other deals...Stellent, Portal Software, G-Log, HotSip, 360Commerce, Context Media, Innobase, OctetString, Net4call, MetaSolv Software, Demantra and Sigma Dynamics......they havn't used Investment Bankers.
Where was it mentioned that Oracle used Credit Suisse on its deal with Hyperion ?
Netking, I think CS actually provided a fairness opinion on the deal and did not advise them on the deal, I misunderstood the article.
Not sure, but the Hyperion sale was executed out of our office.
Is it fair to say that a lot of Tech companies such as Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, etc don't use Investment Banks for deals ?
I guess Motorola did not use Investment Banks either for its acquisition of Good Technology, Netopia, etc
I worked at an in-house deal team at another large, international software developer.
Their logic is to never use banks for such small acquisitions, as a period of transformation required inorganic growth to drive business, while maximizing cost cutting. Dealing with external forces also provides more transperency to your targets, as the enterprise software market is tiny, with a few large players attempting to eat up the niches (some of the companies listed above).
I follow the tech M&A market closely...and was unable to find out if any advisors were used for the following deals -
Symantec Corp acquiring Altiris for 830 Million Ricoh acquiring IBM's (Printing Division) for 725 Million Motorola acquiring Good Technology for 500 Million Motorola acquiring Netopia for 208 Million ASML acquiring Brion Technologies for 270 Million Redhat acquiring JBoss for 420 Million
Does anyone know who the advisors (if any) for the above deals are ?
where are the 2nd/3rd years in your group going to?
TCV, Silver Lake, KKR, TPG, etc.
