Private Equity Operations
A portfolio of environments nobody designed together.
A portfolio company arrives with whatever it already had. The operating team inherits a set of tenants, license positions, and security postures that were never meant to be compared, let alone standardized, and a timetable that does not wait.
What is already true here
- Technology diligence under a short and fixed timetable
- Post-acquisition integration or carve-out separation of tenants
- License positions that are inconsistent and frequently over-bought
- Security posture that varies widely across the portfolio
- Guest and B2B identity sprawl created by merged tenants
- Pressure for an operating standard that a small central team can run
What we do about it
- Technology and Microsoft estate diligence with findings written for an investment audience
- Tenant integration and separation planning, including identity and data
- Licensing rationalization across the portfolio
- A baseline security and governance standard that can be applied repeatedly
- Azure cost and modernization review where portfolio companies run Azure
