It was an extraordinary year of M&A activity. The industry has experienced a crazy-high volume of technology services transactions for a good chunk of time now, and 2022 was no exception, despite whisperings of a recession.

Over the past few years, hundreds of private equity firms and larger MSPss have acquired and snapped up other providers. Why? According to a report generated by Corporate Finance Associates (CFA), titled ‘Mergers & Acquisitions in the Technology Services Industry in Q3 2022’, acquirers find the recurring revenues of MSPs to be extremely attractive. The frenzy has not slowed, the pace has not waned. 

Deals over the last few months have spanned the gamut, with names like Thrive, Auvik and XenTegra. 

With 2023 looming in the not-so-distant future, we’ve compiled a roundup of noteworthy Q3 2022 MSP M&A and investment deals.
