Technology transformation for portfolio companies

Combining business and technology strategies can unlock significant value through cost savings and growth. Although they are often viewed separately, an integrated technology strategy can efficiently streamline operations and drive business expansion with a strong return on investment. In private equity, aligning IT capabilities with the deal thesis and business strategy accelerates the financial impact while also creating lasting value and optimal returns.

Portfolio companies seek support from the EY Private Equity practice in three key areas. Any of these areas can provide an entry point into value creation realization and can be done throughout the hold period. Starting with the priority that aligns to your growth plan, and giving consideration to an enterprise-wide perspective, can create a roadmap that accelerates the value creation plan.

When done with forethought, portfolio companies can leverage technology transformation costs efficiently and use time effectively as a benefit to the business to minimize disruption. That’s the difference between investing in technology and building a technology roadmap.
