We are always just a phone call away if a need arises. Growth IT is dedicated to investing the time needed into building long-term relationships, reinforcing our value as a trusted IT consulting partner our Private Equity and Portfolio Company clients can lean on.

IT Due Diligence

  • Pre-acquisition IT Assessment

  • Post-acquisition IT Assessment

  • Sell-side IT Assessment

A thorough but fast paced analysis of business priorities and supporting and/or enabling IT assets. We consider near-term and long-term business requirements to develop an actionable plan to drive the current state into the desired future state. We outline pragmatic improvements that maximize utilization of current IT assets with reasonable augmentation, for both the near-term and long-term horizon. Our focus is to minimize disruption to departmental processes that are presently effective. 

Enterprise Application Re-implementation

  • End to End GAP Analysis

  • Versions Upgrades

  • Application Augmentation

Our extensive experience has taught us that our clients generally do not fully leverage their IT Assets. End to end organizational change is complex and can be risky without proper guidance. We focus on improving business process support leveraging current vendor relationships, augmented by departmental applications that are effectively integrated. 

ENTERPRISE APPLICATION REPLACEMENT

  • Selection Augmentation

  • Implementation Advisory Services

  • Project Governance Development

  • Steering Committee Participation

  • Internal Core Team Augmentation

  • Go Live Readiness Review

We participate in numerous application selections and implementations. Our process guides a company to appropriately plan and manage these complex initiatives. We complement internal resources while holding all external resources accountable for their responsibilities. Ensuring that milestones for these types of initiatives are realistic and accomplishable from both an economic and people perspective is always a critical first step.

IT RESILIENCY IMPROVEMENTS

  • Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Planning

  • Security Audits

The causes are numerous. The result is the same. When unplanned interruptions occur, staff productivity declines and internal controls break down. We help portfolio companies anticipate and avoid common failures. We also assist portfolio companies in planning for and practice recovering from unexpected failures.

IT STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

  • IT / Business Alignment

Mid-market IT staff often lack experience as leaders of business functions. This limits their ability to understand cross-departmental business drivers. The core strategy driving the evolution of the IT function must align with changing business requirements, ultimately resulting in the achievement of business goals.

SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE

  • Business Application

  • Infrastructure

Business leaders often hire IT staff to be a “jack of all trades”. However, individual IT staff skills often align to allow them to be a “master of one”. The resulting gap presents a challenge when a Company requires additional mastery of a specific IT skill. We provide this focused support directly as well as through our partner relationships.

PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE

  • Software Development

  • Quality Assurance

  • Technical Debt Management

  • Capacity Management

  • DevOps Capabilities

  • Qualitative Code Quality Audit

  • Quantitative Code Quality Audit

  • Open-Source Code Audit

Technology companies that have software products and companies that leverage proprietary software to enable their growth, require these services to ensure their software platforms are extensible and can scale in support of their growth plans. We provide the ability to either augment our clients’ internal capabilities or fully support their related needs.
