Digital for Private Equity Overview

Global digital transformation has uncovered unprecedented M&A opportunities – and risks. Yet the old way of conducting due diligence, arranging financing, and integrating a newly acquired digital company into the enterprise or investment portfolio is wholly inadequate to address digital transactions. What’s needed is a completely new set of tools to evaluate today’s digitally oriented enterprises.

In today’s accelerated transaction and execution environment, Funds and portfolio companies are turning from traditional methods of managing risks and value creation to a new combination of investment savvy methods and analytics-based tools.  This approach equips organizations with the digital measures needed to quickly reposition profit pools within and across industries, increase hold period cash flows and boost portfolio company’s enterprise value demands.  The result is a brand new, modern approach to the transaction and value creation play-books.

Stages of the deal: From diligence to realization

CohnReznick helps deal teams, operating partners, and management teams leverage the power of digital and technology throughout the three phases of the deal lifecycle. Setting you up to execute deals using a seamless, coordinated process from diligence to realization.
