Private Equity
In a shifting investment landscape defined by high valuations, tightening capital, and evolving exit horizons, private equity and venture capital firms face mounting pressure to create value faster and with greater transparency.
Technology, data, and operational excellence are becoming the new differentiators, not just in deal-making, but across the entire fund lifecycle.
Pre-Deal investment decision
The challenge
During due diligence, funds must assess not only financials but also technology, product robustness, scalability, and execution risk. For tech-enabled businesses in particular, weaknesses in product positioning, operating model, infrastructure, or cybersecurity can materially impact valuation and post-deal performance.
How we adress it
We support pre-deal analysis through Tech and Product due diligence, covering the target’s IT landscape, infrastructure, cloud readiness, and cybersecurity, as well as product strategy for software companies, including offer positioning and operating model alignment.
This provides funds with a clear view of risks and value-creation levers early in the process, enabling more informed investment decisions.
IT Carve-Out and business continuity risk
The challenge
When acquiring companies carved out from larger groups, funds must rapidly establish standalone IT environments while ensuring full business continuity. Any disruption to operations, customers, or reporting can materially impact value in the early post-deal phase.
How we adress it
We execute IT carve-outs using different delivery approaches depending on the deal context, including TSA-based separations, clean Day-1 carve-outs without TSA, and integrated carve-out and transformation programs.
Cutovers are carefully planned and executed within controlled time windows, including weekend migrations, to ensure full business continuity from Day 1.
Platform scalability and cost efficiency
The challenge
As companies grow, IT landscapes and supplier choices that were once fit-for-purpose may no longer fully support scalability, cost efficiency, or evolving business needs. Modernisation becomes necessary to enable growth while maintaining operational control and margin discipline.
How we adress it
We conduct IT and infrastructure audits to identify concrete transformation levers, including cloud migrations, supplier benchmarking, system rationalisation, and replacement of legacy platforms with better-fit solutions. These initiatives are designed to improve scalability, optimise costs, and strengthen the technological foundations of portfolio companies.
Transformation execution capacity constraints
The challenge
Value-creation plans often require rapid execution across multiple initiatives, while portfolio companies face constraints in hiring specialised talent, scaling teams quickly, or controlling costs during periods of growth and transformation.
How we adress it
We support transformation execution through local consulting expertise, delivery teams from our capability center, or a combination of both. This model provides access to specialised skills, scalable delivery capacity, and cost-efficient resources, enabling faster execution of transformation initiatives and sustained impact on profitability across the portfolio.
Fund-Level regulatory and administrative complexity
The challenge
Funds face increasing regulatory requirements, reporting obligations, and administrative workload, particularly around regulatory reporting, compliance, and financial control. These activities are essential but time-consuming and operationally demanding.
How we adress it
We support fund operations through specialised teams focused on regulatory reporting, regtech processes, and financial control. Execution is typically delivered by resources from our Capability Center that can be complemented by local consultants for strategic and functional expertise.
