Private Equity's Digital Transformation Revolution
Today's leading private equity firms are taking a new approach to addressing IT and Digital Transformation:
The best PE leaders identify and source the right technology solutions and services to increase business value. In today's digital age, they recognize that technology is no longer just a cost center but a value creation lever and differentiator at multiple levels.
They seek better approaches that challenge the status quo of vendor partnership agreements. These address issues of risk, low adoption, lack of ROI, and missed value-creation opportunities. Empowering portfolio companies with the necessary expertise and support to tackle technology projects and requirements aligned with Private Equity’s operational goals.
PE leaders are leveraging CISO services to protect enterprise value for companies, which is crucial to managing investments in the digital age. CISO services help portfolio companies enhance their security posture, protect enterprise value, and minimize the risk and impact of cybersecurity incidents.
