One Equity Partners (“OEP”), a middle market private equity firm, today announced it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Digital Value S.p.A. (“DV” or “the Company”) (DGV.MI), an Italian technology solutions-focused Value-Added Reseller listed on the Euronext Milan Stock Exchange.

Headquartered in Rome, Digital Value was created in 2018 from the merger of Italware and ITD Solutions. The Company provides Big Data, AI and cloud computing solutions, data management infrastructure, and workplace digitalization services working in partnership with top-tier technology vendors to deliver those solutions. The Company employs 680 people and has three additional offices in Milan, Prato, and Florence.

“One Equity Partners is pleased to partner with Digital Value as its new anchor investor as the company delivers technology solutions at scale serving both public and corporate customers,” said Vittorio Palladino, Principal at One Equity Partners. “Digital Value is a well-respected champion in the Italian technology industry and we are committed to helping the company execute on key growth initiatives, including transformative combinations with complementary businesses in growth areas we’ve identified, and building out the Company’s managed services and cloud solutions.”

“We identified Digital Value as the perfect platform in the Italian market to replicate the value creation playbook we have used in similar technology companies in other markets, both in Europe and in the US,” said Andrew Dunn, Partner at One Equity Partners. “We see an opportunity to deploy our M&A strategy in this still fragmented market and believe there is significant runway for DV to expand further and deliver its sophisticated IT infrastructure, data management, workplace enhancement and other mission-critical solutions to more customers across all key industries in Italy.”
