Private Equity
In any acquisition, merger or divisional carve-out, IT infrastructure is vital to the transaction’s success. Inadequate technology, uncertain change management, or fuzzy leadership will create an unstable foundation that's bad for costs, availability, security and business valuation.
Private equity firms often recognize the importance of IT assessments and goals like application integration and service-oriented architecture, but just as often lack the internal expertise to make them happen.
That's why venture capital companies and other private equity firms look to The Revere Group as a trusted advisor for business, IT and software consulting. During the due-diligence process, Revere helps assess a potential acquisition’s IT architecture, along with topics like application integration and process stability. We evaluate existing resources and identify necessary upgrades.
Post-acquisition, Revere’s IT management consultants help create faster, stronger integrations that build on the natural IT synergies across portfolio companies. Whether a transaction is driven by financial goals or strategic ones, Revere has the private equity experience and proven methodologies to reduce risk and maximize ROI.
IT Due Diligence: Every private equity analyst knows that assessing a potential acquisition’s IT environment is an essential part of due diligence. Evaluating the value and risks of the target's servers, service-oriented architecture and IT personnel, however, requires a special skill set. Revere’s IT due-diligence practice gives private equity firms instant access to those vital skills.
We help venture capital companies and private equity firms measure the true value of existing IT assets and spot hidden capital expenditures. After analyzing the target’s back-office and customer-facing systems, we make recommendations about the scalability and reliability of the enabling technologies.
Additionally we identify the IT investments, application integrations, and other improvements needed to support the acquiring firm’s growth strategy. Whether you need a high-level assessment or a deep-dive analysis, Revere’s IT and software consulting experts have the experience and insight to strengthen and complete your due diligence.
IT Portfolio Cost Reduction: Finding IT synergies across portfolio companies is a powerful way for private equity firms to reduce costs and maximize ROI. But capitalizing on these opportunities can be hard for most firms. Revere’s proven IT cost-reduction methodology delivers significant IT savings for private equity firms, venture capital companies, and for the members of their portfolios.
Our consultants hit the ground running with cost-reduction tools that deliver savings fast. We identify potential economies of scale within the existing IT platforms, the applications, the personnel and processes of your full portfolio. Our consultants operate with little disruption to the day-to-day operations of your portfolio companies, thanks to our practical approach and long experience in IT management consulting. We can deliver annualized recurring savings in both software and hardware that will enhance the value of your entire portfolio.
IT Integration Services: The energy of the hunt for attractive target companies can often dissipate once the transaction is complete and the hard work of integrating the new company begins. If too much energy is lost, the value that drove the acquisition in the first place may never be fully realized. Revere has vast IT management consulting experience, and we know how to guide private equity firms through the process of merging new IT assets with existing resources.
Revere helps venture capital companies and private equity firms navigate the challenges of merging distinct corporate cultures and IT environments -- and do it smoothly and quickly. We can help you incorporate new data sources into your business-intelligence tools, create service-oriented architectures, extend enterprise platforms to recent acquisitions, and take the many other steps essential to IT integration.
From program management to process redesign, from technology migration to application integration, Revere can help you take the steps that will deliver full value from every new acquisition.
