Highly-skilled architectural bootstrapping by leveraging AWS cloud native solutions.
It reduces complexity and cost in the IT environment. When your system becomes strained with the amount of growth within the business, it is time to modernize it to be able to handle that growth.
We engage in legacy platform modernization when the system that has grown
the
business can no longer scale to support business needs and objectives
for
growth
ahead.
The technology is too outdated to handle the business capacity,
therefore it will need to be changed to be able to handle the needs of
the
growing business.
Annual Membership with monthly check-ins and access to the MacLaurin Group network of expertise. You will be assigned a primary MacLaurin Group mentor and the flexibility to speak with your primary mentor for support with any issue or business challenge that typically hits the desk of the CTO or CIO.
The private equity firms we partner with are typically the first institutional investor for the founder or owner of the business. That often means the technology leadership is new to private equity and maybe even new to the CTO or CIO leadership role. Our TAP membership surrounds your CTO or CIO with colleagues who have experience leveraging technology for growth, through a lens of private equity.
Enabling enterprise analytic culture
When an organization finds itself struggling to support ever more complex and varied reporting and analytics, they often find that they are challenged with:
Insufficient data assets to support desired outcome
Reporting platform technology unable to keep up with enterprise or client analysis distribution
No or limited data access for the business, thus overly reliant upon resources with specialized skill set
A technical due diligence is a process that is performed on either an
entire
company,
individual team or platform, evaluating and assessing a potential
acquisition
target
prior to a transaction. The private equity partner will advise on the
investment
thesis, and it is this objective that will frame the engagement to
understand
the
acquisition target’s existing technology, the growth the private equity
partner
wants to achieve, and how to get there together.
The primary goal is to reduce any surprises and provide investors a line
of
sight
that will allow them to budget and plan accordingly for a successful
transaction.
Are you a private equity investor looking to acquire a portfolio company
and
are
seeking a third party review to understand the existing technology,
human
capital,
and data assets prior to a transaction along with future investments
needed
post
transaction?
Or maybe you are a founder or business owner thinking about a future
private
equity
partnership and want to perform a technical due diligence for your own
company
before you engage in a process.
A technology roadmap is a detailed plan that focuses on making sure the existing business can function with its current infrastructure while building out new technology to support growth and the private equity firm's investment thesis.
A high-level technology roadmap may be developed prior to a transaction.
Most
often,
a detailed technology roadmap is developed soon after the acquisition
takes
place.
As we look at the overall technology strategy of where a portfolio
company
wishes to
position itself, the business can not pause and turn on a brand new
system.
It will require investment, time, human capital, and energy to bring it
online
in a
controlled manner. While that is happening the business needs to operate
and
service
clients.
