Mobileum Inc. Acquires Sigos - Seite 2

"Our successful partnership with SIGOS over the past six years represents the core investment principles of Thoma Bravo," said Chip Virnig, a partner at Thoma Bravo. "Our commitment to working with existing management, implementing operational best practices, and backing market leading software vendors all resulted in this great outcome."

Mobileum has consistently grown its suite of analytics offerings in the years following its acquisition by Audax Private Equity in 2016. Building on 19 years of leadership in the sphere of roaming, Mobileum relied on its knowledge of mobile telecommunications to develop its 'Active Intelligence' platform that empowers real-time actionable insights across roaming, testing, fraud, and security domains. The combination of SIGOS' testing and monitoring solutions and its engineering team with Mobileum's advanced analytics platform will create an innovative and robust framework for telecom operators, as they continue evolving their networks and adopting new technologies and business models.

SIGOS complete testing portfolio, together with its more than three decades of field expertise, will allow Mobileum to enhance its roaming, risk management and security solutions and will expand its capacity to solve new challenges and to serve its customers around the world.

The acquisition also serves to strengthen Mobileum's presence globally. Mobileum and SIGOS will have a combined team of over 1,800 employees across more than 30 global locations, serving more than 750 telecom operators across the globe, in 180 countries.  

Lincoln International served as the exclusive financial advisor to SIGOS and Thoma Bravo on this transaction, providing industry expertise and managing the preparatory, marketing, negotiation and due diligence phase.
