Are your business needs and information technology aligned?

Transitioning systems and related information technology (IT) assets from acquired companies can result in business risks and unexpected costs. Crowe Horwath LLP delivers high-value performance solutions to private equity firms and their portfolio companies. Our team leverages knowledge gained during our IT due diligence to provide thorough transition planning and execution designed to help you reduce risk and deliver results within planned costs.

Solving complex performance issues often requires a collaborative approach which combines Crowe’s process, technology, and industry expertise with our clients’ internal resources to help deliver transfer of ownership and a lower cost of consulting. Our professionals take the time to understand the unique process and technology challenges facing private equity firms and their portfolio companies, rather than selling one-size-fits-all solutions. Our performance services approach includes:

• Assessment. We help clients understand the holistic view of their business needs and determine the exact solution that allows IT to support the four strategic areas of success: finance, operations, people, and customer service.
• Consensus and planning. Crowe’s collaborative approach helps align stakeholders’ understanding of the technology issues and the actions needed to address them. The goal is that the final plan represents a genuine consensus among company leaders, IT managers, and Crowe consultants.
• Solutions implementation. Our team works closely with client teams to help you implement real-world solutions that help clients align their vision, support return-on-investment objectives, and build lasting value.
