FPE Portfolio Company Intragen Enhances Identity Capabilities with Atlas Identity Acquisition
Intragen Scales Up with Third Acquisition in Twelve Months
FPE Capital LLP (‘FPE’), the specialist software & services focused lower mid-market growth investor, announces that their portfolio company Intragen has acquired Atlas Identity Limited (‘Atlas Identity’), one of the UK’s fastest growing IAM service providers, recognised in the Sunday Times Hundred 2024.
Intragen was FPE’s sixth investment from FPE Fund II, the firm’s second specialist software and services fund. Atlas Identity is the third acquisition Intragen has made in the last 12 months, having previously acquired United Identity, the IAM business unit of Telia in Finland, and AspisID earlier this year. By adding Atlas Identity’s extensive customer base, including many blue-chip corporations across EMEA, Intragen significantly increases the number of managed service customers it can serve, further strengthening its market position.
Alex Fagioli, CEO of Intragen, commented, “Intragen has long been seen as one of the strongest One Identity Partners in Europe. Our recent acquisition of AspisID reinforced that position. As of today, due to our acquisition of Atlas Identity (Okta European Delivery Partner of the Year in 2023), Intragen is now also a leading Okta partner. In addition, Atlas Identity brings SailPoint and Workato expertise into the group to expand our portfolio. I am delighted to welcome Stephen and the rest of the Atlas Team into the Intragen Group.
Intragen is where the top IAM specialists do their best work. We love the passion that our consultants have for the particular products they work with. We will continue to nurture this within Specialist Practices that are dedicated to specific vendor technologies. The acquisition of Atlas Identity increases the number of managed service customers we can serve.”
Stephen Williams, Founder of Atlas Identity, comments: “As cyber threats continue to develop and expand, organisations are increasingly looking for us to deliver Identity transformations and maintain their Identity service as a fully managed support service. We help our customers realise the maximum value out of their IAM investments over the long term. There is already great synergy between Atlas Identity and Intragen with our shared values of ‘trust and transparency’ and ‘perpetual progress’, most importantly they share our view that technical excellence is fundamental to what we do. We see this as an exciting next phase of our growth, which I know will benefit both our existing and future customers.”
Chris Kay, Partner at FPE, commented, “We are thrilled to welcome Atlas Identity to the Intragen family. The acquisition of Atlas Identity not only accelerates Intragen’s growth but also underscores our dedication to scaling innovative software and service enterprises. Together, these companies are well-positioned to deliver exceptional identity management solutions and drive transformative results for their customers across EMEA.”
The FPE investment was led by Chris Kay and Sam Greenberg. Intragen was advised on the transaction by Squire Patton Boggs (Legal), Stephenson Harwood LLP (Debt Legal), KPMG (Financial and Tax), and Fellwood Advisory Ltd (Debt Advisory). Debt Financing was provided by DunPort Capital Management who were advised by Addleshaw Goddard (Legal). The Atlas Identity shareholders were advised by Buzzacott (Lead Advisory) and Harper James (Legal).
