SC&H Capital Advises Mind Over Machines On Acquisition of The Seva Group

SPARKS, Md., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SC&H Capital, an investment banking advisory firm focused on M&A and corporate finance solutions, announced today its role as financial advisor in the acquisition of the Seva Group by Mind Over Machines, a Baltimore-based provider of consulting and IT services to commercial and government clients.  The Seva Group is a provider of IT consulting services in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Mind Over Machines enlisted SC&H Capital to advise on acquisition-related business strategy as part of the company's strategic growth initiative.  SC&H Capital advised on valuation, deal structure, and capital structure and sourcing for the Seva Group acquisition. 

Tom Loveland continues as the CEO for Mind Over Machines, while the Seva Group founder, Chris Long, is executive vice president in the newly combined company.  Other executives of both firms have retained their positions.  The transaction was completed in December 2012.

"SC&H Capital has been involved from the very beginning, expertly advising and executing on all steps through the acquisition's completion," said Mind Over Machines' CEO Tom Loveland.  "This has been a perfectly complementary business arrangement, with both firms bringing to the new Mind Over Machines additional and now co-managed capabilities that, when taken together, enable us to reach new markets and create more opportunities in the markets we already serve."

With the acquisition, Mind Over Machines now comprises one of the largest IT consultancies serving the Mid-Atlantic region, providing services that include mobile and cloud computing, enterprise information systems development, and technical staffing.  

"Having advised on numerous IT servicing deals, we know the particular challenges of this industry, among them the need to efficiently adapt – more quickly than in most industries – while operating in a business model that's unique when compared to other service-providers," said Christopher Helmrath, managing director, SC&H Capital.  "The Mind Over Machines acquisition took these business features into account, which we believe strongly benefited both firms, or the new Mind Over Machines."
