Data and AI across the platform lifecycle.
We bring data engineering and applied AI expertise to acquisition integration, platform operations and exit preparation.
01Acquisition & integration
Unify data across acquisitions.
Every acquisition brings different systems and definitions. Our data engineers are used to unfamiliar software, messy records and undocumented rules. We work through those details with the acquired team so the platform can trust its numbers.
- Comparable numbers across companies
- New acquisitions included in platform reporting
- A repeatable path for the next acquisition
02Platform operations
Improve platform performance.
Once companies are connected, the work shifts to improving performance. We combine data engineering with applied AI to explain what drives results and automate recurring work in the systems teams already use.
- Marketing spend tied to booked revenue
- Less manual data entry
- Completed work matched to billing
03Exit preparation
Get platform data ready for exit.
For an exit, management and advisers need a consistent operating history and the records behind it. We apply our data engineering expertise to organize financial and operating data across companies, customers and time.
- Financial and operating history in one place
- Numbers reconciled to management accounts
- Buyer analysis with supporting records
