When you have a new acquisition, you want to ensure the people, processes and systems that make up the IT infrastructure are in the right place. While many IT evaluation firms come in with ideas for costly ERP implementations, very expensive hardware upgrades and recommendations to dismantle IT groups entirely, our approach is quite different.

We build a relationship as your trusted partner and we think creatively. We take the time to ask the right questions, and listen to the client. Many times streamlining systems does not require massive ERP implementations and hacking up IT departments.

Our team has deep IT expertise and has overseen hundreds of transitions. That's why our private equity clients trust us again and again to help them ensure their assets are operating at peak efficiency.
