Technology That Creates Portfolio Value
Private equity value creation teams need a fast, independent view of where technology is costing money, creating risk, or slowing growth. We find it, prioritize it, and help execute on it.

The Challenge
Portfolio companies accumulate vendors, contracts, and infrastructure over time. The environment may support operations today while quietly consuming EBITDA, carrying security risk, or creating friction at exactly the wrong moment, during a major integration or exit preparation. According to the Telarus Tech Trends Report, 84% of organizations are open to switching technology vendors, yet most never get an independent view of what they're paying relative to the market.
Bloated vendor contracts with pricing that hasn't been benchmarked since the original deal closed
No consolidated view of technology spend, performance, or renewal exposure across the portfolio
Add-on acquisitions that stack inherited systems with no integration plan or accountability
Cybersecurity gaps that don't surface until they become an incident or a diligence finding
Technology decisions made without independent market context, leaving real savings on the table
How We Help
Axis Point Advisors gives value creation teams a fast, reliable view of where technology is increasing cost, creating risk, or slowing growth. We identify the highest-value actions and work with portfolio company leadership to carry them through assessment, sourcing, negotiation, and execution. No vendor relationships influencing the outcome. Just results.
A structured, rapid view of technology services, contracts, spend, security posture, and renewal exposure. We organize the facts so your team can make informed decisions quickly.
We surface unused services, pricing gaps, provider overlap, and unfavorable contract terms. We quantify the opportunity and support execution so approved actions translate into lower run-rate spend.
A repeatable playbook for assessing inherited providers, contracts, and infrastructure after an acquisition. We standardize where it improves speed and operating control without forcing every company into the same model.
We identify and help resolve security gaps before they affect valuation, create an incident, or surface during exit diligence. Endpoint protection, managed detection, and compliance posture across the portfolio.
We resolve avoidable vendor and contract issues and create a clean operating story around cost, scalability, and resilience, so technology is an asset in the diligence process, not a liability.
When to Engage
Different moments in the ownership cycle call for different kinds of technology support. We're built for all of them.
Post-Close & 100-Day Planning: Establish the technology baseline, identify near-term actions, and give leadership a fact-based view of priorities before they commit to a direction
Major Renewals & Provider Decisions: Use market context, structured evaluation, and commercial leverage before signing a long-term agreement that locks in cost or limits flexibility
Add-On Acquisition Integration: Assess inherited services and providers, then build a repeatable path for consolidation and standardization across the combined entity
Growth & Scalability Planning: Test network, cloud, communications, and security models against the growth plan before constraints slow expansion or consume management bandwidth
Exit Preparation: Identify and resolve technology risks before they surface in diligence, and build a clear narrative around operational efficiency and scalability
Common Questions
We assess technology services, providers, contracts, spend, security posture, infrastructure, and upcoming renewal decisions. We focus on areas where better information or independent market context can support a material decision or reveal a meaningful cost or risk opportunity.
Most assessments are structured to deliver findings within 30 to 60 days depending on scope and the availability of existing data. We design the process to limit the burden on portfolio company management teams.
Yes. We can begin with one company or work across several simultaneously. A portfolio-wide view often reveals common providers, inconsistent pricing, and opportunities for coordinated sourcing that individual assessments would miss.
Yes. We support provider evaluation, sourcing, negotiation, implementation coordination, and ongoing optimization. Our goal is to make sure approved actions actually produce the expected financial and operational results, not just a recommendation that sits in a slide deck.
We'll establish the technology baseline, identify the highest-value actions, and support execution. No pitch. No vendor agenda. Just a clear view of where the opportunity is.
