Greg Davidson, shareholder and former managing director of MIS, commented: “We were looking for a new owner for MIS as one of the shareholders, Kevin Milford, wanted to retire. We are proud of the company we have built and were looking for a way to continue our journey for the employees our clients, our partners, and the brand. So, when TSS approached us with their ‘perpetual ownership’ approach, we were very interested.

“Being part of a large international software company gives us the leverage to take our company to the next level. It will be interesting to have around 6,000 colleagues all active in the software industry. We look forward to gaining new insights on running software companies and to sharing our vertical expertise in the group in addition to becoming an independent business unit of TSS and working alongside Arjen de Wit and Martijn Aardema.”
