How this list is made
- A transaction counts when its announcement headline names IT services work, or DFX tagged the company bought as IT services. The headline match is on words, not on a classifier, and every match was read when the list was built.
- A firm counts when the announcement names it as the private equity sponsor on the buy side, directly or through a portfolio company making an add-on, and DFX has resolved it to a firm record.
- Each firm is counted once per transaction. Ranked by transactions, then by the date of the latest.
