Marketing and competitive analysis for a global engineering services provider

The Challenge

The client requested a consulting project to support its global water business strategy and stress-test the firm’s business strategy in Europe and Southeast Asia.

Bluefield was requested to support a financial investor in developing a coherent acquisition position for operations & maintenance (O&M) services in the U.S. water sector– municipal and industrial. Key questions addressed included insights into the O&M services segment, the competitive landscape, and potential growth opportunities outside current business activities.

Bluefield Engagement

Bluefield provided an evaluation of regulatory and political impacts on build-out, analysis of economic and industrial forces on market growth, and a comparative assessment of growth opportunities.

In performing the research and analysis, Bluefield considered the client’s existing services and activities in water and relative positing to key competitors by geography and segment.

Accelerating Outcomes

The client proceeded to successfully acquired the firms and subsequently went on to roll-up other significant assets through the support of Bluefield’s analysis.
