We’ve seen a clear shift in how private equity is deploying capital — away from pure software plays and toward the infrastructure that makes data and AI possible.
Private-equity firms have invested over $100 billion in data-centre assets over the past five years — with 2024 alone seeing more than $108 billion in related deals, nearly triple the prior year’s total. Analysts now project data-centre investments could reach $1 trillion by 2030, driven by AI workloads and compliance-heavy industries.
For CFOs, this trend changes the conversation:
💾 Data is now a balance-sheet asset, not just an IT expense.
🧩 Resiliency, continuity, and audit-readiness are part of enterprise value.
💸 The cost of downtime — or poor data governance — is no longer technical; it’s financial.
We’ve seen this firsthand with our financial-services clients: investors now expect operational resilience and proof that a firm’s data is as well-managed as its capital.
At Tech Experts, we help firms quantify IT risk the same way they measure financial risk — proving that operational resilience drives enterprise value.
If you’re re-evaluating your firm’s data strategy ahead of 2026, let’s talk.
