Jamf Acquired by Francisco Partners — Technology M&A

Francisco Partners has completed a $2.2 billion take-private acquisition of Jamf, a New York-based enterprise software company. The deal brings Jamf under private ownership, marking Francisco Partners’ entry as the controlling sponsor in the transaction. The acquisition follows the prior ownership of Jamf by Vista Equity Partners, which exited the business as part of the process.

Jamf provides software used by organizations to manage and secure Apple devices, positioning it within the broader enterprise software market focused on endpoint management and IT security. The transaction underscores continued private equity interest in recurring-revenue software platforms with mission-critical roles in corporate IT operations, particularly as device fleets and security requirements expand across regulated and large enterprise environments.

While the announcement confirms the deal is closed, specific financing details and advisor information were not provided in the available text. The completion of the going-private transaction also signals a transition to a private investment structure for Jamf, with Francisco Partners assuming responsibility for the company’s next phase of strategy and execution.
