Almost a year ago, IDC researchers predicted that the technology industry is likely to see several major mergers, acquisitions, or restructurings among the top-tier IT vendors in 2015. True to their premonition, 2015 has really been a very busy year for tech mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
The networking, storage, semiconductor, security, and cloud computing markets all saw major changes that altered the competitive landscape. Financial software company Dealogic calculates that 45 transactions worth over $10 billion took place in the first three quarters of the year, with volume dominated by 33 U.S.-targeted deals totaling $858.7 billion. According to S&P Capital IQ, M&A tech activity has totaled over $240 billion till date, making 2015 the second best year ever for tech deals (the best year being 2000, with $390 billion).
Here are some of the biggest tech mergers and acuisitions in 2015.
