Over the past year, there has been a surge of partnership agreements between various private equity-focused tech providers. Additionally, these same tech providers have joined forces with a number of service providers. But who is doing what, with who?

The plethora of tech provider partnerships announced in the last year carry commonalities,
namely to automate manual processes, automate data collection and provide cloud storage, as well as streamline workflows.
