Cloud-led digital transformation MSP Node4 said the acquisition will enhance its Microsoft solutions capabilities, adding significant capabilities in customer experience and relationship management within Microsoft Dynamics.
Tisski delivers solutions using Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Azure Technologies. Founded in 2011, it has grown rapidly over the past few years. A Microsoft Gold Partner, Tisski has worked with some of the UK’s largest public sector organisations including the Ministry of Defence and the Department for Transport. It also has a strong presence across a range of public sector agencies such as housing, blue light services, local government and healthcare.
The company has 184 staff, which Node4 said it is committed to retaining post-acquisition. Backed by Providence Equity Partners, Node4 targets strategic acquisitions that will enhance its ability to provide end-to-end services and help UK businesses move to secure, cloud-based platforms.
Complementary with the existing portfolio, Tisski is Node4’s third acquisition under principal investor Providence Equity Partners following the purchase of TNP (The Nav People) and Risual. Led by its founder and CEO, Anna Assassa, Tisski’s team will remain in place as part of the wider Node4 group.
The addition of Tisski will take Node4’s headcount to more than 1100 people and see the group serving over 2000 customers.
“Tisski has built a superb reputation over the past 12 years as a trusted technology provider across an extensive list of public sector enterprise customers supporting their delivery of critical public services,” commented Andrew Gilbert, CEO of Node4.
Tisski’s CEO Assassa said that the move will open ‘huge possibilities’ for Tisski, adding: “Our shared values and vision have resonated as we’ve worked closely with Andrew Gilbert and the Node4 leadership team throughout the process, which made this an easy decision to make.”
Node4 was advised by EY (Financial, Tax), Pinsent Masons (Legal). Tisski was advised by PwC (Financial, Tax, Corporate Finance) and supported by Browne Jacobson (Legal). The completion of the acquisition is subject to National Security and Investment (NSI) act approval.
