Selective harmonization. If your thesis hinges on cross-selling, we prioritize CRM. Invest where it moves the needle.
Consolidated financial reporting in week one, critical system migrations by week eight. Absorb acquisitions at pace.
Centralized data hubs that automatically consolidate financial, operational, and commercial data. Real-time dashboards.
Unify customer data and build account intelligence across entities to grow relationships systematically.
We evaluate proprietary tools: Keep and refactor, migrate to SaaS, or sunset? We bring in experienced CTOs.
Stage IT maturity to match complexity. From fractional CTO support to full internal capability with managed services.
Establish frameworks that become valuation drivers: unified data models, automated pipelines, and access controls.
