Case Study: KPMG improves M&A decision-making with Datasite data analytics

Buyers and sellers embrace advanced data analytics in APAC and China

The customer, KPMG, a global professional services firm, highlighted the growing need for advanced data analytics in the competitive M&A market in China. The challenge was to help both buyers and sellers leverage big data to improve deal analysis, manage risk, and provide more concrete outcomes to secure transactions. They turned to the vendor, Datasite, for its platform and survey insights.

Datasite's solution provided the analytical tools and market intelligence, evidenced by its recent survey, to help KPMG advise clients. The results included the ability to perform more granular cost and revenue analysis, demonstrate concrete deal outcomes to attract high-quality bids, and better assess ESG credentials. A measurable impact from Datasite's data showed that 98% of practitioners in China now consider ESG an important factor in M&A, with 70% having seen deals fail due to ESG concerns.
