Why Technology Advisory Is Critical in Mid-Market PE

The mid-market is a unique investment arena—large enough for significant value growth, yet small enough to be nimble. However, many businesses in this space lack the digital maturity needed to scale effectively.

That's where technology advisory experts come in. These consultants help identify inefficiencies, assess IT readiness, and create robust technology strategies that align with a PE firm’s value creation plan.

Intology, as a specialist in business and IT transformation, works closely with private equity firms to ensure their portfolio companies are not only fit for acquisition but also primed for exponential growth post-deal.
