Client
Following a strategic review, Emap plc decided to focus squarely on business-to-business media. It sold its consumer magazines and consumer radio businesses – together with its in-house shared services operation – to Bauer.
The newly independent company became Emap Limited, having been bought by a consortium and de-listed from the stock market. Under the sale agreement, Bauer would temporarily provide IT services to Emap Limited. However, new systems and networks would be needed inside just 10 months. An outsourcing strategy, to include other non-core services, was the ideal solution.
