Information Technology Services

Alvarez & Marsal's dedicated Global Private Equity Services group works with investors and their portfolio companies to provide independent analysis and end-to-end services across the investment lifecycle that deliver results in every economic cycle.

A&M's Private Equity Services professionals leverage the firm's operational heritage and world-class finance, accounting and business consulting expertise, and the experience of its financial, operational and transaction tax diligence professionals in a one-of-a-kind, integrated approach to best serve clients.

Business applications, such as IT infrastructure and organizations, are often critical assets, but management typically understates their impact on a company's risk profile. A&M has developed an approach to quickly assess how efficiently the IT function is performing, as well as determine the level of risk to stakeholders.

Our professionals provide hands-on leadership and management of IT functions for both distressed and healthy organizations. Our primary objective is to identify opportunities that reduce costs or increase the efficiency of IT across an enterprise or across a portfolio.

Our Information Technology Services include:

  • Review IT Operating and Capital Budgets
    • Recommend appropriate level of IT spend based on the company's size and scale
    • Develop budget approximations, if needed
    • Determine relevance to EBITDA projections and management requirements
  • Review In-Flight and Planned IT Projects and Investments
    • Evaluate project priorities and estimated project spend
    • Analyze IT project pipeline and impact on CAPEX / OPEX schedules
