Value Creation
Create added value through intelligent use of technology. IT and system solutions for their own sake do not deliver the business value organizations expect today. Executive teams and investors are no longer focused solely on technological excellence; the key question is what operational and commercial benefits it delivers. Once again, the priority is the successful transfer of technology into true value drivers for business development—and making consistent decisions about which systems must be introduced, retained, or retired.

Exit Readiness
Portfolio companies of financial investors typically reach a point in their lifecycle where the investing organization decides to sell the stake or take it public in order to monetize its investments. While the process is often driven and managed by clear financial targets, there is a great deal to do and prepare operationally to make the exit a success for everyone involved.
In Technology and IT, key factors can make the decisive difference in valuation metrics and purchase price negotiations. First, there is the question of data transparency—are the relevant systems connected, can financial and production data be meaningfully linked, and does the cost model fit the current situation? Second, organizations tend to accumulate various “system burdens” over time that actively weigh on costs while delivering little operational value.

Future Readiness
Legacy systems are not only operational risk factors for organizations; they can also be real barriers to innovation. The warehouse management system whose vendor has already been sold on three times and that no longer exists as a product on the market; the production control system that has been end-of-life for more than 10 years; or the server system for which hardware components are no longer available.
They all have one thing in common: they have long since passed their operational peak and, in the event of a failure, can become business-critical—whether due to technical wear and tear or the loss of knowledge when the employees involved eventually retire. The task here is, on the one hand, to identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies, and on the other, to scout market-standard alternative solutions and evaluate and implement them based on the right questions.

Data Analytics & Performance
Value is created where numbers and facts are intelligently combined and the right conclusions are drawn. But how do you create the foundations to obtain high-quality data and analyze it accordingly? Many mid-sized companies and portfolio companies face the challenge of generating data in all kinds of formats and variants, but often leaving it in isolated information silos—the production system that only communicates with the manufacturer’s control system, or the ERP system that knows all internal transactions but cannot analyze them flexibly or link them to production feedback data.
However, linking the right data is not just about IT expertise; it is about the ability to understand processes and value chains and, based on that understanding, identify the relevant systems whose information needs to be consolidated.
