Tyler Technologies is to acquire Arlington Capital Partners’ portfolio company MicroPact, a provider of specialised, verticall- oriented case management and business process management (BPM) applications for government.
Founded in 1997 by CEO Kristoffer Collo, MicroPact was formerly known as MicroPact Engineering, and since 2012 has operated as MicroPact through several affiliated entities. Arlington Capital originally acquired Iron Data Solutions, LLC in 2011 which was combined with MicroPact in 2015.
“We are very happy to join forces with Tyler Technologies, the clear leader in public sector software technology with an outstanding company culture focused on excellence in all things, including client-centric service,” says Collo. “Tyler and MicroPact share a common vision and passion for transforming government by empowering organisations with solutions that create efficiencies and abilities to quickly solve difficult problems.”
Michael Lustbader, a Managing Partner at Arlington Capital, says: “MicroPact has invested heavily in its product portfolio during our ownership, ultimately achieving market leadership in strategic verticals within the public sector case management software market. Through its innovative technology and knowledge of the government marketplace, the Company is uniquely positioned to expand Tyler’s addressable market while also introducing an additional product portfolio to its core customer base.”
Dan Smith, CFO of MicroPact, says: “Under Arlington Capital, MicroPact established itself as a market leader by expanding its customer base, growing its differentiated technologies and integrating its product portfolio after the strategic merger with Iron Data. The partnership with Tyler Technologies will unlock key opportunities for MicroPact, including augmented sales reach, additional customer touchpoints, enhanced software utilisation and accelerating a promising partner program.”
Malcolm Little, a Principal at Arlington Capital, says: “Tyler’s acquisition of MicroPact, combining two leading public sector software providers, represents another example of Arlington’s use of transformative M&A to build strategically valuable businesses.”
Spurrier Capital Partners served as exclusive financial advisor to MicroPact. Sheppard Mullin served as legal advisor to MicroPact.
