New Mountain acquired a majority ownership position in Deltek in April 2005, as a result of the firm's work and experience in the federal IT services space. New Mountain's portfolio company, Apptis, Inc., is a Deltek customer and it became clear to the firm through its work with Apptis, that Deltek holds an exceptionally strong position as the software provider to the industry. Deltek's founding family retained a large ownership stake in the business, and New Mountain negotiated this purchase with Deltek on an exclusive basis without auction due to New Mountain's proven ability to add value at its other portfolio companies.
