Technology Assessments and Turnarounds

Beacon Integration’s analytical IT Assessment team assists organizations with complex and highly technical issues that have business impact. While our IT Assessments are a fundamental component of most of our M&A based services, we also offer comprehensive assessment services to meet the needs of private equity investors, buyout sponsors, turnaround and distressed remediation situations.

Our primary objective is to create a roadmap for a lean organization tailored to meet business and strategic portfolio objectives. Our IT Assessments provide the same scrutiny given during our Due Diligence services to operational and financial proficiency, but goes deeper by understanding the mechanics driving the results and with a greater focus on technology to business alignment.

We evaluate applications and infrastructure as a cohesive service, including their relative supporting processes and policies, and relative correlation to business needs.  We also pay special attention to organizational efficiency, capability, and evolutionary level while recognizing that there is a large human factor involved in the effectiveness of any organization.

When organizations merge, our assessments include comprehensive, unbiased (or fact based), side by side analysis of all facets of the IT environments. Maximizing return on IT investment requires selection of the best practices, talent, and technical components from each organization, as well as leveraging the scale of the new entity.  We carry this approach further to compare service providers and explore sourcing opportunities as well.

For turnaround situations or whenever rapid improvement or savings is desired, the process is broken down several components - providing “no-brainier” (or just do it) recommendations usually within the first few days.  This allows organizations to begin making traction toward eliminating risk, costs, or correcting a dysfunctional organization while further analysis is conducted.

In all situations, Beacon Integration provides the objective counsel needed to make informed strategic decisions, and maximize IT investment. Contact us for a consultation.
