Tisski is renowned among its customers for its innovation in both delivery methodology and end market verticals, particularly within police forces where its solutions enhance intelligence and decision-making to increase efficiency and provide better services for victims of crime.

Backed by Providence Equity Partners, to build on its strong organic growth, Node4 targets strategic acquisitions that will enhance its ability to provide market-leading end-to-end services and help UK businesses move to secure, cloud-based platforms that will really make a difference to their people and clients. Complementary with the existing Node4 portfolio, Tisski is Node4’s third acquisition under principal investor, Providence Equity Partners, following the purchase of TNP (The Nav People), the UK’s largest Microsoft NAV and Business Central partner, and Risual, a leading Azure-focused Managed Services Provider.
