SITUATION
A private equity client was considering an acquisition of a $200M custom window manufacturer and installer and in order to protect their investment, wanted to identify and quantify IT risks, weaknesses, and opportunities, and understand additional IT investments needed.
OUR ROLE
Our team interviewed and collected artifacts from executives and IT management to understand IT requirements and environment; assessed IT organization, applications, infrastructure, security, compliance, budget, and spend; and assessed in-flight ERP System Implementation, to determine feasibility of timeline and costs.
OUR IMPACT
Our experts identified numerous cybersecurity vulnerabilities and PII and PCI Compliance issues and prepared a remediation plan. Our team was subsequently engaged by the window manufacturer to manage remediation. The manufacturer remediated red flags, and the private equity client successfully completed the acquisition.
