Jamf snaps up Identity Automation in $215 million acquisition
Summary
Apple device management specialist Jamf has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Identity Automation for $215 million in cash, subject to customary closing conditions. Expected to close by the end of Q2 2025, the acquisition will see Jamf combine Identity Automation’s capabilities with device access in a single, unified solution. By combining these capabilities with its own existing offering, Jamf said it is creating a comprehensive solution that will benefit industries that rely on mobile-centric and deskless workflows - particularly healthcare, retail, aviation, and field services. Commenting on the acquisition, Identity Automation CEO, Jim Harold, said Jamf shares the company’s passion for digital learning, as well as its associated challenges. “With Jamf, we will take great strides in further protecting and nurturing digital learning and expanding our joint capability to more industries that can benefit from dynamic identity."
