The cloud application industry continues its ascent with robust M&A activity across a variety of cloud-based platforms and services. As companies around the globe continue to shift to the cloud, strategic and financial buyers are on the hunt for innovative cloud-based technology acquisitions. The global public cloud services market is estimated to be growing at 6.3% in 2020, bringing the total market size to $257.9 billion by the end of the year, up from $242.7 billion in 2019. Encumbered slightly during the first half of 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic, cloud growth is still expected to increase to 19.0% in 2021 and 18.6% in 2022, with the overall market reaching an estimated $354.6 million in 2022.
On July 28, 2020, Network International announced the acquisition of The Direct Pay Online Group (DPO Group) for $288 million. The DPO Group operates a cloud-based eCommerce processing platform that supports multiple transaction types with online and offline capabilities for consumers. As a leader within the eCommerce enablement space in Africa, The DPO Group will help expand Network International’s regional footprint and digital commerce capabilities.
Also, in late July, ESW Capital announced its intention to acquire Optiva Inc. for an estimated $256 million. Optiva provides cloud-native revenue management software to communication service providers around the world. This acquisition adds to ESW Capital’s extensive portfolio of mature software companies across a range of verticals with cloud capabilities.
On July 20, 2020, Thoma Bravo announced a definitive agreement to acquire Majesco for approximately $590 million. Majesco is a global leader of cloud insurance software solutions for insurance business transformation. Thoma Bravo has a history of acquiring and working with cloud-based platforms, and this acquisition will add to their large portfolio of technology companies.
In mid-July, L&T Technology Services (LTTS) announced the acquisition of Orchestra Technology for $25 million. Orchestra Technology develops a cloud-based platform for wireless telecommunications network engineering, testing, and automation applications. This acquisition comes as LTTS looks to expand its technology suite and widen its reach into the telecom OEM and service provider space.
In early July, Damstra Holdings announced a takeover bid of Vault Intelligence for approximately $58 million. Vault Intelligence is a workforce SaaS provider that offers cloud-based and mobile software products. Damstra, a fellow workforce SaaS provider, aims to leverage Vault’s unique cloud technologies and product suite to grow its capabilities and create a larger, more diversified workplace management company.
