IT Operations Software

IT Operations Software is a critical component of broader infrastructure technology that powers and manages an organization’s IT environment.  The sector includes a range of tools and systems that address network and server management, data center and storage administration, performance monitoring, security management, and disaster recovery. It also includes broad automation products that improve efficiency and reduce the risk of human error.

As many industries continue to embrace digital transformation, IT Operations Software forms an important and growing sector. Our dedicated ISO leverages THL’s deep experience in software, generally, and our knowledge of key end markets that are advancing their digital strategies and exhibit increasing need for operations systems and support.

Software can improve back office processes in distinct and impactful ways. Our goal is to invest behind market leaders developing IT operations software, driving process improvement in different business functions.
