Look beyond the surface.
Technical consulting for private equity funds and portfolio companies, from diligence questions to a focused post-acquisition infrastructure plan.
Infrastructure can support an investment thesis or become an unplanned demand on capital and management attention. A disciplined review connects technical findings to continuity, delivery effort and the ability to change.
Examine network and storage architecture, recovery readiness, operational ownership and critical dependencies. Separate observed evidence from management assumptions and flag where further validation is needed.
Key questions include: where is the business dependent on a single system or individual? What limits growth? Which maintenance or migration decisions have been deferred?
Map shared services and technical entanglements. Assess separation sequences, identity and access dependencies, data migration requirements and the risk of interrupting operations.
Identify where common infrastructure standards could help and where workload differences justify a distinct approach. Prioritize improvements by operational exposure, implementation effort and business relevance.
Turn findings into an initial action plan with owners and dependencies. Establish what should be stabilized first, what needs more evidence and which changes can wait for a planned transition.
The scope can include an architecture and dependency map, a technical risk register, a list of diligence questions and a phased improvement plan. Cost and timing estimates should state their assumptions; technical assessment supports the investment decision alongside financial and legal advice.
