One Equity Partners koopt Rizing een toonaangevende SAP system integrator: Nieuwe investering ondersteunt de continue groei van het bedrijf

NEW YORK – 23 januari 2018 – One Equity Partners (“OEP”), een toonaangevende middelgrote investeringsmaatschappij, kondigde vandaag aan dat de overname van alle dochterondernemingen van Rizing, LLC (“Rizing”), een toonaangevende op SAP gerichte aanbieder van diensten op het gebied van integratie en implementatie van IT-systemen, is voltooid.

Rizing opereert middels zijn divisies Vesta Partners en /N SPRO, en biedt gespecialiseerde IT-consultancydiensten aan toonaangevende internationale klanten die vertrouwen op SAP-bedrijfssoftware voor de uitvoering en het beheer van hun onderneming. Rizing is opgericht in 2003. Het brede personeelsbestand van vakbekwame consultants is gespecialiseerd in producten met toegevoegde waarde en verticale markten binnen het SAP-ecosysteem, waaronder enterprise asset management, human capital management en oplossingen voor bedrijven in de detailhandel- en consumentensector. Rizing heeft 14 regiokantoren in de Verenigde Staten, Canada, Nederland, de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten, Singapore, Maleisië en Australië.

OEP heeft uitgebreide ervaring in het ondersteunen van de groei van bedrijven die IT-services en bedrijfssoftware leveren. “We zijn zeer enthousiast over het SAP-ecosysteem en de sterke groeitrends. Rizing heeft zichzelf gepositioneerd als een strategische partner voor SAP in de kernsegmenten en is een vertrouwde partner van veel toonaangevende bedrijven ter ondersteuning van hun technologische initiatieven”, aldus Carlo Padovano, Managing Director, OEP. “De uitbreiding van SAP S/4 HANA en de integratie met strategisch verworven cloudproducten zoals SuccessFactors, Ariba, Hybris, Fieldglass en Concur leveren een aanzienlijke waarde voor klanten en met de ‘systems of innovation’-tools van SAP kunnen klanten profiteren van ultramoderne technologie op het gebied van big data, analytics, IoT en machine learning. Rizing is een belangrijke partner voor klanten bij SAP-implementaties.”

Deze investering is wederom een mijlpaal in een lange geschiedenis waarin OEP als partner heeft samengewerkt met oprichters en managers met ambitieuze groeiplannen op basis van zowel organische als niet-organische kansen. “OEP is van mening dat Rizing een indrukwekkend managementteam heeft samengesteld, onder leiding van Mike Maiolo, CEO van Rizing”, aldus Padovano. “Het team beschikt over diepgaande kennis van en ervaring met het implementeren en integreren van SAP-oplossingen voor blue-chipklanten, en we zijn razend enthousiast dat zij samen met ons investeren en de volgende groeifase leiden. OEP complementeert hun expertise op het gebied van bedrijfsvoering met onze eigen ervaring in het tot stand brengen van strategische en synergetische combinaties.”

“OEP heeft een uitstekende reputatie als het aankomt op het aansturen van transformatieve groei in de bedrijven waarin OEP investeert. De onderneming heeft ook dezelfde visie als wij. We willen het serviceaanbod van Rizing uitbreiden met een groter aantal SAP-practices en verder samenwerken aan de ontwikkeling van bepaalde IP-services die een mooie aanvulling vormen op onze bestaande services”, aldus Maiolo. “OEP is de ideale partner om ons te helpen bij het vergroten van onze geografische en verticale footprint op internationaal niveau, waar we aantrekkelijke organische en niet-organische groeimogelijkheden zien.”

De klantenkring van Rizing bestaat uit toonaangevende ondernemingen in Noord-Amerika, Europa en elders ter wereld in verschillende sectoren, waaronder energie en nutsbedrijven, consumentenproducten, financiële dienstverlening, detailhandel, transport en diverse andere bedrijfstakken.
