(NYSE: ADP). GTCR was introduced to Tony Aquila in January 2004. At the time, Mr. Aquila was the COO of Mitchell International, a leading provider of automotive claims management and estimatics services. Estimatics providers collect and distribute data for repair shops and insurance companies to help adjudicate the automotive insurance claims process. In January 2005, GTCR joined forces with Mr. Aquila to form a management start-up. The goal was to acquire a leading automotive claims management services provider. There were three major estimatics providers in the U.S., each competing fiercely for a limited set of insurance customers. GTCR and Mr. Aquila collectively identified a division within ADP as the most compelling target in the sector. The business was believed to be under-managed, and not a strategic fit with the core ADP payroll business. GTCR felt Mr. Aquila and his team brought unique experience and industry expertise that could facilitate significant improvements in operations. In June 2005, GTCR and Mr. Aquila contacted ADP about carving-out its estimatics business. ADP was receptive to a transaction because it believed GTCR and Mr. Aquila would continue to provide high levels of service to the division’s large insurance clients, also customers of ADP’s larger payroll division. As a result, we were able to initiate diligence on a proprietary basis following these discussions and, after a market check by the board, announced the acquisition in January 2006. Upon closing, the company was renamed Solera. Solera completed an IPO in May 2007, approximately one year after the acquisition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solera Holdings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
