  EVOLUTION OF MARKET DEMAND…                                         …CANNOT BE MATCHED BY A GENERALIST

  • Differentiated products                                           • Inability to lead innovation on all segments

  • Combination of sub-systems, services and software                 • Product portfolio too large to focus on system development

  • Sector specific skills                                            • Larger but shallower skillset

  • Long-standing partnerships                                        • Spread customer base

  • Investments focused on Innovation and scale                       • Fragmented investments
