Its objective is to help its clients meet increasingly complex regulatory requirements, while satisfying the demands of stakeholders, investors, management committees and company auditors.<\/li>\n<li><u>Fiscal and legal<\/u>tax and legal issues affecting companies, such as taxation, international trade or possible litigation.<\/li>\n<li><u>Consultancy<\/u>independent and specialised consultancy service that helps clients find solutions to problems they face in a wide range of areas.<\/li>\n<li><u>Transactions<\/u>This area includes all services required in the course of corporate transactions. They range from due diligence, through restructuring to valuation services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the current climate of global uncertainty due to doubts about economic growth, trade wars and protectionism, EY has managed to continue to grow and reported a record turnover of \u20ac33bn in its last financial year.<\/p>\n<p>The robust growth and high growth figures for an established and mature company like EY can be explained by its strategy focused on creating long-term value using technology.<\/p>\n<p>This was remarked by Carmine Di Sibio, CEO of EY Global.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, there are two points that highlight EY's commitment to technological solutions and digital transformation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The investment of more than \u20ac900m in technology solutions during the last financial year.<\/li>\n<li>The key <a href=\"https:\/\/techma.bakertilly.es\/en\/merger-and-acquisition-m-a\/\" target=\"_blank\">mergers and acquisitions<\/a> carried out along the same lines, which are analysed below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LA_ESTRATEGIA_DE_EY\"><\/span>THE EY STRATEGY<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PLAUT_IT\"><\/span>PLAUT IT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the first month of the year, EY <a href=\"https:\/\/techma.bakertilly.es\/en\/acquiere-a-company-2\/\">acquired<\/a> this Australian company<strong> specialising in SAP<\/strong> which has clients of the stature of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toyota.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toyota<\/a> Australia, among others.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plaut.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plaut IT<\/a> EY has managed to position itself in this sector, which is becoming increasingly important for companies, and has even become the largest SAP service provider in the world.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, they continue with their commitment to technology and the ability to provide their clients with digital transformation services in even the most complex and complex of environments. <em>cloud enterprise<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PANGEA3_Y_RIVERVIEW\"><\/span>PANGEA3 AND RIVERVIEW<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With the acquisition of these two companies, EY strengthens its offering and services in the legal area.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, it enables it to be the first firm to offer legal consulting services, leading LMS (learning management system) software and legal technology in more than 80 countries.<\/p>\n<p>In order to facilitate the efforts of firms in the legal sector to transform and improve their processes, EY has been able to add the <strong>legal outsourcing services,<\/strong> as well as the <strong>innovative technologies<\/strong> de <strong>Pangea3<\/strong> and <strong>Riverview<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, it has been able to stand out from its competitors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"C_CENTRIC\"><\/span>C CENTRIC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another area of significant growth and utility in recent times is CRM.<\/p>\n<p>EY has reinforced this with the acquisition of C Centric, <strong>Indian company focused on assisting companies in their integration and adoption of different CRM systems.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, procurement does not only add resources in the CRM area alone.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to C Centric's expertise and efforts in different fields, it enables EY to have the combination of CRM with the cloud, SaaS, artificial intelligence and <em>robotic process automation<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ELEVATEDPROMPT\"><\/span>ELEVATEDPROMPT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Due to the increasing number, severity and sophistication of cyber attacks, EY purchased ElevatedPrompt to <strong>strengthen its services in the field of cybersecurity with threat, virus and malware detection services, among others.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the areas where consultancy firms are making the greatest effort to respond to the high demand from companies as they adapt to digital transformation,<\/p>\n<p>EY is adding these services to its branch of <em>risk advisory<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ALERON\"><\/span>ALERON<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Spoiler<\/strong> is a <strong>Australian company focused on cyber security, platform design and technology implementation across industries such as retail and financial services.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This acquisition also strengthens EY's position in this sector and positions it as a leader in cybersecurity solutions, reinforcing the services it already offered.<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen, EY's strategy in its <a href=\"https:\/\/techma.bakertilly.es\/en\/merger-and-acquisition-m-a\/\" target=\"_blank\">mergers and acquisitions<\/a> has been focused on adding to and completing its technology and digital transformation services.<\/p>\n<p>In the company, they are aware of the importance it is taking on in all companies globally, and are convinced that it will be the most important factor in the growth
