The Work Tech sector’s outsized growth potential, coupled by its significant fragmentation, increased competition and continued innovation has already kicked-off a broad- based wave of M&A. The trend is clearly towards integrated product offerings that cater to a wide range of adjacent functional needs for clients of all sizes. In 2020 there were 177 transactions, with disclosed value of $45.5 billion. We call this the Great Consolidation because its trajectory indicates a reshaping of the Work Tech competitive landscape, with longer-term implications.
