Benefits Delivered

• Private equity sponsors were delivered actionable insights about understanding the depth of IT work that would be required to ensure this asset could be used as a platform for further bolt-on acquisitions. This knowledge allowed them to adjust IT capex expectations.
• The IT Due Diligence report was critical as the three-year IT roadmap was closely executed by the client in the post-acquisition phase to develop ‘quiet IT’ and a platform for further acquisitions.
• Cybersecurity became a focus within the organization and the culture of IT security matured significantly. The client invested in upgraded infrastructure such as firewalls and switches, better endpoint protection, and intrusion detection software. And most importantly, they improved IT security processes such as frequent penetration testing, annual user security, and awareness training.
