Post-Acquisition Assessment Aligns Tech with Growth

Following a new acquisition, a global private equity and venture capital firm needed a clear, objective view of a portfolio company’s IT environment to support aggressive growth plans. Leadership lacked visibility into whether existing systems could scale, where risks were hiding, and which technology investments would drive value versus add complexity.

With limited time to inform post-acquisition strategy, the firm needed a trusted advisor who could quickly assess the current state, align technology to business priorities, and define a practical path forward. RGP stepped in with deep IT systems expertise and an operator’s perspective to guide smarter investment decisions.

RGP conducted more than a dozen stakeholder meetings across 11 business functions to understand core processes, system dependencies, and reporting needs. This provided a comprehensive, cross-functional view of how technology was supporting—or constraining—the business.

Using business impact and urgency scorecards, we identified system issues by function and evaluated where risks, limitations, and inefficiencies were most critical. This approach helped leadership prioritize technology investments based on value and scalability rather than assumption or urgency alone.

RGP assessed future-state business requirements, evaluated current technology gaps, and developed a clear IT systems roadmap. Findings and recommendations were presented to private equity ownership and portfolio company senior leadership, enabling informed investment decisions and a technology foundation aligned to long-term growth.
