Tyto Athene buys cloud migration provider

Tyto Athene has acquired a cloud computing migration specialist focused on the U.S. intelligence community as part of an ongoing push to grow the portfolio of offerings for this particular customer set.

Ready Support Services opened for business in 2010 to help intelligence agencies and others across the national security ecosystem transition their IT assets to cloud platforms and shared services environments.

By purchasing RSS, Tyto is also looking to add IT service architecture and design services that work across multiple security enclaves. Financial terms of the transaction announced Tuesday were not disclosed.

"RSS brings deep, mission-tested expertise in enterprise service management, IT asset management, and a comprehensive ServiceNow operations focus,” Tyto Athene CEO Dennis Kelly said in a release. “Their specialized cloud migration and on-premises deployment capabilities deliver exactly the tailored support the IC requires when transitioning and securing its most critical applications.”

RSS’ relationship with and specialty in ServiceNow centers around on-premise deployments in classified environments.

Tyto is owned by the private equity firm Arlington Capital Partners, which first purchased the integrator in 2019 and has supported several add-on acquisitions since.
