Endava Announces the Acquisition of Intuitus Limited

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Endava (NYSE “DAVA”) announced today the purchase of Intuitus Limited (“Intuitus”), headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland. Intuitus is a leading independent provider of technology and digital due diligence, and other technology advisory services to Private Equity clients.

“The Private Equity space has always been an area of focus and strength for Endava, driven by the ability to increase equity value through digital transformation. Joining forces with Intuitus strengthens this position, bringing increased execution capability and a great portfolio of clients,” said John Cotterell, Endava’s CEO.

Intuitus brings over 100 active clients, most of which are Private Equity firms including Abry Partners, BC Partners, Carlyle, EQT, Inflexion and Triton, based in the UK and Continental Europe, as well as in the US and Middle East.

The acquisition of Intuitus will enhance Endava’s capability and accelerate our penetration of this market segment. Technology is becoming ever more crucial to the investment thesis of Private Equity firms as they seek value transforming business change in their portfolio. They need to identify disruption opportunities and require external expertise to navigate the rapidly changing technology landscape.

“We are delighted to be joining Endava. Our due diligence expertise, combined with Endava’s technology know-how and international platform, will bring new growth opportunities for the combined team,” said Calum Stewart, CEO of Intuitus.

Intuitus provides technology and digital insight that informs business-critical investment decisions and the formulation of business plans that maximise shareholder value at exit. The Intuitus business model combines extensive C-level technology expertise and transaction advisory capability with a deep understanding of the Private Equity sector.

Intuitus will strengthen Endava’s existing IT due diligence advisory capability, and position it to better serve its expanding Private Equity client base. Additionally, the depth and breadth of Endava’s digital product and software engineering capabilities will now be more obviously available to Intuitus’ client base.
