Genpact, a global provider of business and technology services, announced that it has acquired ICE Enterprise Solutions, a European SAP service provider.

Avendus Advisors was the sole advisor to Genpact for the transaction.

ICE, established in 1996, is an SAP Services Partner, Utilities Partner, and BW/SEM Partner in the Netherlands and an SAP Partner and StreamServe Partner in Spain. The company specializes in serving large Europe based multinationals in the manufacturing, utilities, oil & gas, insurance, and financial services industries.

Commenting on the deal, Amit Singh, Assistant Vice President of Avendus Advisors said, “Some years ago there was a clear trend of IT companies diversifying into the BPO arena, this transaction however might signal a trend in the reverse direction. Genpact, with its strong domain and process understanding is also well placed to provide technology solutions to its clients as part of a holistic solution. There is a great demand for SAP skills and solutions worldwide and the strong SAP implementation and consulting skills that ICE possesses, along with its vertical expertise in areas like Manufacturing, Utilities, Oil & Gas and BFSI, would enable Genpact to quickly cross sell services to the combined client base in Europe and North America.”
