Primary Insight

What Stands Out

  • Enterprise networking and IT/OT convergence show up in major Missouri deals, including Belden Inc.’s agreement to acquire RUCKUS Networks.
  • Managed IT and cybersecurity capabilities are recurring targets, such as NWN Corporation’s acquisition of InterVision Systems (closed; terms not disclosed).
  • Data center operations and connectivity-related services are represented by acquisitions like Wesco International’s agreement to acquire Ascent LLC and Argo Infrastructure Partners’ incremental ownership in TierPoint.
  • Specialty vertical expansion appears in healthcare/dental IT, including Focus acquiring Progressive Solutions to enter the dental market.
  • Consolidation and platform-building are present, from merger activity (e.g., Ideal Recovery + Absolute Recovery) to new service-platform launches (e.g., Blackford Capital’s HEDS platform—though not strictly IT, it indicates broader tech-enabled services partnering patterns in the broader deal landscape).
