We’re happy with the decision to have Livingstone on our side in this, they’ve contributed valuable advice and support in all phases, from planning and preparation to final negotiations. The team has been knowledgeable, strategic and professional throughout,” says Allan Hallén, CEO at iBiz Solutions.

“As tech like machine learning, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things grows increasingly common, the demands for integration control grows, which in turn, creates a need for expert advice and increasingly complex IT solutions. This transaction is an example of how established suppliers of data capacity, networks and management, can move up the value-chain by realigning its business towards integration solutions and consulting,” says Christopher Fägerskiöld, Partner at Livingstone.
