Merger/Acquisition Train Keeps Chugging: IBM, Telarus, Google, T-Mobile, More

Merger and acquisition activity came to a grinding halt in September. What, you didn’t buy that?

Of course it didn’t. The channel-impacting deals kept on coming.

Take, for instance, Google Cloud closing its acquisition of Mandiant, which at first we thought was going Microsoft’s way. Speaking of security, KnowBe4 is in talks to be acquired by a private equity firm. And when one high profile deal fell through, it wasn’t good for one security company’s value.

In September, we watched as Telarus made its second big deal of the year. And T-Mobile got a not-so-profitable monkey off its back.

You can read about each merger and acquisition we’ve featured in the slideshow above. It includes 11 deals that had the channel talking last month — and beyond.
