What You Need To Know
On June 2, 2016, Asentinel announced the acquisition of European Technology Expense Management (TEM) vendor Anatole. This union of market leaders, which will do business going forward as Asentinel, creates a new single-source global TEM player with an immediate opportunity to increase market share based on the geographic footprint covered by Asentinel and the combination of network, mobility, platform, managed services, and professional services of the two companies.

Blue Hill believes that this acquisition, unlike many, is closer to a merger among equals in the sense that both Asentinel and Anatole are market leaders of similar size with significant adoption in their native geographic areas, and are seeking to grow through geographic
expansion.
