Where IT Gets In The Way Of Portfolio Value

These are the IT issues that show up across a portfolio:

Nobody Can See IT Risk Across The Portfolio

Each company reports on its IT differently, or not at all. You cannot tell which ones have multi-factor authentication, working backups and secure devices.

Every Company Runs IT Differently

A different provider, different tools and a different standard in every business. Each one needs its own explanation, its own budget and its own fix.

Integration Stalls On Technology

Email, accounts and devices have to move, and the business has to keep running while they do.

How We Support Private Equity Firms

A consistent approach from the first look at a company to long-term ownership.

One Standard Across The Portfolio

Every company we manage runs on the same security baseline, the same onboarding and offboarding process and the same documentation, so variance stops costing you money.

Smooth Post-Close Integration

We plan the move of email, accounts and devices around the business, so staff keep working while systems change. Each company moves onto a fully managed plan as it joins.

IT Planning For Each Company

Regular reviews and a technology plan for each company, so IT spending supports the growth plan instead of surprising it. See IT strategy and vCIO.

Ready For IT That Keeps Up With Your Acquisitions?

For small private equity firms that buy and operate established businesses, every operating advantage counts. IT is one that gets overlooked until it shows up in diligence or in an incident.

Each acquisition arrives with its own mix of computers, accounts, servers and habits. Some are well run. Many are not. That variance costs time and money in every integration, and it hides risk inside the portfolio.

TUCU manages IT across portfolio companies to one documented standard: the same security controls, the same onboarding and offboarding, and the same reporting. You see where each company stands, and each company gets a team that knows its people by name.

What Fully Managed IT Covers

Every portfolio company plan covers:

Private Equity IT FAQ

Yes. Each company gets its own support, documentation and plan, managed to the same standard as the rest of the portfolio, so you get one consistent view across all of them.

We plan the handover with the outgoing provider: admin access, licences, documentation and backups. Read how to switch IT providers for what that involves.

Our critical response time is under 15 minutes. Your request goes to the same in-house technicians who set your systems up, not to a call centre queue and not to a rotating contractor.

That is the reason the response is fast: the person answering already knows your environment.

No. We work with clients on a fully managed basis only. We do not take single jobs, emergency call outs for non clients, or hourly project work.

Managed IT is a monthly fee based on the number of staff and devices you have and the security and compliance requirements you need to meet. Team size changes what you pay. It does not change what you need.

Our pricing page shows the ranges, so you know where you stand before you book a call.
