IT Shared Services

Reduce costs and improve quality

In many instances, full integration of all IT organizations across divisions, subsidiaries, or portfolio companies is not possible or even desirable. However, creating a Shared Services Entity—a partial staff- or asset-based consolidation—combined with strategic sourcing, can deliver similar synergies, efficiencies, and savings.

A Shared Services model shifts certain fixed costs to variable costs and enables the migration of both assets and liability, giving private equity firms or corporations greater freedom to accommodate strategic liquidation objectives. If modeled correctly, a “Service Company” can even be a salable asset unto itself.

Based on our experience, a partial consolidation can yield anywhere between 10% - 20% reduction in IT staffing and related costs, while affording greater flexibility and liquidity to the overall business or portfolio.

Successful execution demands experience

Shared Service consolidations require careful planning to ensure that the resulting organization reflects the strategic goals of the business. Beacon Integration’s experience in Technology Assessments, IT Due Diligence, M&As, and Post-Merger Integration aligns perfectly with the requirements of creating a successful Shared Service organization.
