Digitally Operate Your Business

Our clients often ask us “what do you mean by ‘digital,”? It is not a new flashy tool, nor is it the sum of your technologies, systems and infrastructure. Digital transformation combines a deep understanding of your customer, supplier, partner and employee ecosystem with the power of market-leading tools to improve productivity, foster innovation and deliver differentiated experiences that delight customers.

When it comes to digital, A&M believes one size fits none, and technology for technology’s sake is not a path to value. We begin with a business need and end with tangible results. From establishing foundational data management and analytics to building a business case for change, to selecting and implementing enabling tools like robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and more, A&M helps clients navigate their unique digital journey.

How A&M Can Help:
We partner with business and technology leadership teams to establish a “digital culture” that uses technology to drive business outcomes.

Modernize & Optimize Technology

Technology should be a strategic enabler for your company, but business objectives and technology strategies often fall out of sync. Big bet transformational programs, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), cloud migration, or human resources information systems (HRIS) initiatives, become distressed. Platforms age, and tech debt builds, leaving organizations with a burden rather than a solution. Companies that recognize and respond to these challenges early and with a sense of urgency can deliver sustainable business results. Market leaders go a step further with proactive plans that leverage technology to build competitive advantage over time and increase flexibility to respond to emerging trends like environmental, social, and governance requirements, sustainable IT, and web 3.0.

M&A: Technology Carveouts and Integration

Technology plays an essential role in the full cycle of mergers, acquisitions, carve-outs and divestitures (M&A). Whether you’re acquiring a large global company or divesting a non-strategic subsidiary, transactions come with high stakes – massive upside potential, but often mired in complexity and uncertainty.

Technology complexities derail best laid plans, resulting in delayed or eroded deal value. But sidestepping these challenges usually boils down to avoiding two common mistakes:
1. Involving technology leadership too late in the transaction process; and,
2. Waiting too long to determine how you will integrate or separate IT-related assets
and processes.

How A&M Can Help:
A&M helps clients maneuver the technology complexities of M&A to accelerate maximum technology value capture.

Executive Advisory and Interim Leadership

Leading a technology organization is no easy task. Technology leaders find themselves navigating an ever-changing business landscape, balancing competing priorities, keeping abreast of evolving technological innovations and operating within changing organizational constraints.

Outside perspective from operators who have “sat in the hot seat” can help organizations embrace and capitalize on the growing impact of technology on their business.

Boards, executives and technology leaders (CIO, CTO, CDO) call on A&M when objective counsel and advice can be the difference between success and failure for their most important technology-enabled initiatives.

How A&M Can Help:
A&M helps guide client technology organizations through periods of significant change and strategic importance. We’ve assembled a team of former CIOs and CTOs that have the sensitivity that comes from front line experience. They know the questions to ask, can identify potential roadblocks to success, and can provide objective, independent advice and interim leadership for mission critical results.
